Power steering seal kit available from UK dealer?

X caps.

counter man at the dealer tells me that it's not available from him. I seem
to notice people saying on-list that they've got hold of the kits quite
happily, is this because the kits are available in the US and not the UK?

No, readily available in the UK.  I ordered several last year.

>    While I'm at it, if I were to get hold of a kit , what is the
recommended method of dealing with the X caps , is it just to use a BF
screwdriver?

Key words are "impact draglink socket".  You'll also need a 4mm Allen impact driver.  Yes, there is such a thing and yes - you
really do have to hit it that hard.
