I got the T/L Compensator and motor back from MichinaPackard this week. Its looks fantastic. To bad I have to hide it underneath.
I am getting all the T/L related parts cleaned, blasted and painted for reassembly.
I have a question about the control assembly in picture 4 below. I need to remove that black tar like substance from the wire connectors. What should I replace it with? Everything I can think of is more or less permanent (like silicon).
Also photo 5 is of the steering cylinder. I removed the snap ring from the end of the column but how is the rod removed. Do I have to do something special or do I just clamp it into the vise and just keep pulling?
I have a number of new parts on the way for both the T/L and the steering so have plenty to keep me busy.
