OK...here goes... This is my first effort at a blog.
Our car was supposedly restored back in the 70s or 80s so it is not a rust bucket.
I acquired it in '98 and drove it minimally.Unfortunately, it developed a crack in the block from the valve seat to the cylinder, so to make a long story short, I pulled the engine and had it professionally restored.
Before installing the engine, I figured it made sense to rework some wiring and the Bijur system. In the process I realized that the steering wheel took two arms to turn a few degrees. Certainly a major problem.
I conferred with a couple of experts who told me that the problem is a bushing in the steering box....which is my current dilemma.
To remove the steering box, one must remove the pitman arm.
I would welcome advice on how to get it off.
