I'm still trying to firgure out what wrench to order, tried searching by the part number in the manual, but, came up with nothing, I would love to make something,but, no access to a welder, tried the hammer and punch method,but, not getting much of anywhere.
North county San Diego, Oceanside, 10 minutes from the freeway off the 76.Where do you live in SD? We're going to be near there starting next Saturday (staying at Dana Point). I could bring the tools. Might have to fix the big one this week (I think one of the lugs broke a weld and I can't remember if I fixed it already or not).
If yours is leaking PS fluid from the sector shaft, you do not need to take the box apart. After you pull the column back after knocking the roll pin out, you can dig that seal out with a sharpened small screw driver. Then you can install a new seal. I've done a bunch of these on sheriff cars back when I worked at a garage where they had the county contract.
It should be an "O" ring on that top cover. You need to remove (or at least loosen it initially) the adjustment nut first, while holding the adjustment bolt from turning. Then remove the lock ring holding the cover. After that it, remove the nut and run the adjustment bolt in (clockwise) to raise the cover out of the housing and off. I would count exactly how many turns it takes to do that, or, you'll have to go through the adjustment procedure to get the end play clearance right.
Yep, I do have a impact and compressor.We may be down on Saturday (that's the plan right now). Husband of a friend of mine from high school is a pastor of a church in Oceanside. We may go their service next Sunday. It's at a middle school there (MLK). I pulled the tool out today. I do need to still fix it. Couldn't find the tool for the smaller ring, but it's around here somewhere.
Do you have any air tools or electric impact?
