Pulling rack is not the very worst 928 job, but I am frustrated that that I am doing it again so soon and it cost me an entire track weekend.
Bummer- just goes to show no matter how hard one tries to keep on top of things the 928 still bites you in the *** no matter!
What we call "enthusiasm" those close to us view as "mental illness"- starting to wonder who is right. It is reckoned that the second sign of madness is when hairs start growing on the palms of our hands- the first sign is when we start looking for them!

Not the first time and won't be the last time I am frustrated by a 928, but it does feel good to vent occasionally!
Replacement rack back from re-builder and bolted up. The service turn around time was quick.
Will Flush P/S fluid tonight and hopefully be on the road tomorrow.
-Does anybody else struggle with getting steering knuckle "u-joint" off and on?

Ha, it gets easier each time you have to go back and redo it Ken!
So what did the guy say about the necropsy of his first rebuild? Anything?

No post mortem. As far as I can tell, they just sent me another rack from their inventory.
Prying open the knuckle apart to get it to slide on easily is a PITA. Spend some quality time with my hydraulic press and selection of chisels. Then more time cleaning out the splines. Came very close to ordering a new one from Roger, but I really wanted to get it done for this weekend, and the part would have been coming from Germany and would not have been here in time
File under seemed like a good idea at the time:
The rebuilders send a little plastic container of sealant for the banjo bolt crush washers. That is a good idea.
My my "good" idea was to drop the washers into the little container so that when I was under the car, I would pull them out all coated, clean and ready to go.
Problem is, dropping them in there started the curing process for the sealant and by the time I was ready to use them, it had hardened into useless bits....
So not only did it not save time or effort, it was a major pain to clean the "new" crush washers.
