Thought I would install my Turbo tie rod ends and found that one of the rack end bushings had stuck to the rack and pushed it out. ( probably during storage )

I found a rack rebuild thread by Wes V

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=95747

But it seems his rack is different than mine. his is a 75 mine is a 73 . I didn't know they changed them.

So it looks like I will have to disassemble my rack and clean up / polish the rack rod.

problem is I can't seem to find a number for the seal. Part #10 in diagram

Also the 911 rack ( and later 914 rack ? ) has a needle bearing at the top whereas, it looks like the 73 rack has caged ball bearings top and bottom.

My rack part number is 914.347.014.00

I haven't disassembled mine yet.

Does anyone have part numbers for the bearings and the seal? are the caged rollers the same number as in the 911 rack? # 6202. and if I can't find the seal could I just go with a sealed 6202 bearing (if available) on the top and skip the #10 seal?

I put PB blaster on the stuck end bushing last night and will work on it later today.
