Success this morning the bolt came out using the heat gun a pair of stilsons and a copious amount of swearing, there is a difference in the depth of the offset leg on the steering arm that takes the track rod end so perhaps that was the cause of your rack not self centring .

Hello folks has anyone tried to remove the steering arms to replace them with power steering ones? And is it necessary to change them? I ask because I have the passenger side nut and bolt removed but its becoming a pain to get off after all these years even with freeing oil.
