Steering Gear Question
Posted by Packard 1948 On 2015/6/14 19:51:25
OK...so the front internal seal on the steering gear is leaking so I need to replace it with the kit from Max Merritt (seal and cover gasket).
I had hoped that I could replace it by simply removing the front cover with the four bolts and slide the cover off however the cover will only slide forward about 1 3/4 inch before it hits the frame.
There is an internal tube that the horn wire runs through that is too long and since this tube is connected to the seal on the front cover it looks like I will need to remove the steering gear from the car to service the seal.
