Does anyone know if the Buick GN steering shaft boot is still available from GM....if so anyone got the part number? ![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I have a steering boot I bought years ago from Mikes' Montes....however it's not the same.....a little small at 2" on the OD vs the buicks boot which is 2.25" OD.![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Is there a procedure to remove the top pin so I can install the new boot? I've tried to remove the top pin, but won't budge......guess I'll try heating up the shaft and then hammer the pin out with a drift? Alternatively using a press?
