My steering rack was making the typical knocking noise often reported on NSXPrime, so when I did the front ball joints, I swapped in my spare rack, and put it on the shelf for later. After over 150k miles, it deserved a rest!

At the last MOT the replacement rack was showing an early indication of a problem, no loose play, but a slight lag in assist, so my spare rack was taken off the shelf and investigations begin!

If you remember, the motor power connections were a tad crusty, probably using the same nuts as fitted to the exhaust system!

A quick saw cut and tap with a chisel….

Under these were 2 more special nuts, fortunately these came out quite easily!
