How do you get the steering pot box off the bottom of the steering collumn?

I have the overhaul kit but can't work out how to get it off !

Punch the small pin in....then swear a bit..

Sorry, meant to say the column is off the car, yes punched out the pin

But how do I get the pot off?

I am not talking about the Roll pin.

There is a small pin on the body of the unit you are trying to remove. It may have a small round head on it....punch it in to the body and then disassemble it.....

Ahhhhhhh, thanks Pete

Worked like a charm, took the old gubbings out, they had flat wear spot on them and no real profile left.

Put the new internals in, packed it full of grease and put a new cover on it. Can't say the grease covers clip on very well, despite the ends being as crimped in as much as poss. Will just have to keep an eye on it but it has tightened the assembly up no end.

Those covers plain and simple , they suck I hate those things I am always dealing with them

There was a factory spring clip mod for it back in the day, a guy in Michigan used to sell repros but not now

I replaced the Original steering UJ thing with a real UJ

I got this from Hauser racing

There are a few Pitch of spline option available in this size as i found out

I used part. SWE401-50607

I found that if i cut the original steering shalf in the middle of hole the length was perfect.

This fits directly onto the spline shaft on the steering box


There was some talk about this being a bad thing as there is no up and down movement like the original had so do your own research ( possible steering box wear as car Flexes)

Then welder on full blast and she is on

That looks like a good option for the future or one of those flaming river kits !

I got a flaming river u.j after I saw AllKiller's post when he did his.
Does make a lot of improvement to steering play

I only did it like this as was cheap flaming rivet kit is very nice but £££


Also finding I love Hauser racing cheap and fast with all there part and they are alway spot on with everything
