Tips:
* If you do not have a pry bar, you can use a large screwdriver or a pair of pliers to pry off the old steering rack gaiter.
* If you do not have a degreaser, you can use a mild detergent and water to clean the steering rack.
* If you do not have a lithium-based grease, you can use any other type of grease.

Do not use excessive force when prying off the old steering rack gaiter. This could damage the steering rack.
