    Where's that gawn?

    My PAS "groans" at low speeds when nearing full lock. So there probably nothing wrong with your PAS. As for the oil I haven't got a clue.

    General tools

    Just remember you get what you pay for. Not saying the cheap tools are crap but it might be worth paying that little bit more to get tools that will last.

    Have you tried putting a part of the boot over the lip then screwing the boot round. Make sure you have plenty of grease one and in the boot as this will aid getting the boot to go on and prevent ripping it. This is the way I did mine. Cheers eddy
