Little bit of an update and a few pics.
Got the old steering rack out, took all of about 5 mins!
Then the fun started! first of all the track rod ends where quite tight but managed to get them about!
Then the adaptors where seized rather tight! Took a long time of soaking, heating and a lot of force and eventually freed them up!
Then tried to free off but lock nuts, one of them wasnt to bad, but the other one was so seized it eventualy stripped threads off the adaptor!
So have now got a new adapter on order at the price of £40!!!
