Warning - please see the comments section so you don't damage the rack box seal    • Volvo S60 V70  Upper rack seal protec...   Also, REMOVE the ignition key, to get the steering locked, so it doesn't spin freely when the shaft is disconnected, otherwise you will damage the SAS angle sensor inside the steering (expensive) and will also loose the correct steering wheel position.
Common issue with seized lower steering coupler (shaft) - how to test, lubricate and eventually replace it
