    Hopefully an easy question. How does the large clamp come off of the boot on
    the inner tie rod ends? It looks and feels like the band on a CV joint, but
    I'd hate to pry and snap it off only to regret it. And what the hell is with
    that tube running between the boots, through the rack-clamps, with a bend in
    the middle? My Haynes is practically useless and of my four cars this is the
    only one I don't have a factory service manual for.

    I don't know about the clamp, but the tube is to equalize the pressure
    as the rack piston moves back and forth. Otherwise, the pressure in
    one boot would increase and the pressure in the other would decrease.
    Eventually, they might leak and collapse the boot.
