I think they are a 19

yeah, 19mm sounds right, though that will be the least of your troubles.

cracking the tie rod bolts will be your biggest problem, because the shaft in the rack can rotate freely. So you need to get 2 large shifting spanners, one on each of the tie rod bolts, then you'll get one side off. Then unscrew the cap on the end of the rack so that you have a decent amount of room to get a 17mm OE spanner on that end, and then you can get the other side off.

Biggest pain in the ass ever!! (remove or loosen the tie rods before you unbolt the rack)

Yeh they are DEFINATELY 19mm...i made the biggest mistake, i cracked the wrong ones and then unbolted it, now i cant get good enough leverage on one side to crack it, and the bolts wont go back in

owned....

you might have to resort to taking off the tie rod ends
