MartinsB3B Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 Moving my truck around today to get more space to work on it and it would only to steer to the left. Move the wheel to the right and it would only get tight and the wheel would actually raise up out of the column. So upon taking the covers of the box off, when you would steer back to the left and the wheel would lower you could see that the bearing above the worm gear has come apart, and needles have come out. I had attempted to remove the steering box before but never noticed that the column had lowered any. Didn't think to get any pictures while it was apart. I'm hoping to be able to save the bearing, as well as hoping that it hasn't hurt any of the gears either. Anyone experienced this? Quote

MartinsB3B Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Posted January 28, 2015 Sweet! I lost a few of the seals so now the hunt is on. I'm probably going to do as you stated and fix the box up to showroom condition. Thanks, Martin. Quote
HanksB3B Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 Martin, In post #9 of the above linked thread, there are two .pdf files that you can print out and cut your own Cover Plate and Shims. Some things you'll only find here on the Forum from Industrious organized people (not counting myself) Good luck and here's a hint: Take lots of pictures before you take things apart and a few after to show off!

MartinsB3B Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Posted January 28, 2015 I'll be sure to download them. Thanks a lot! Quote
