V6 Ross Steering Box Removal

Looks like you will get yours completed before me. I tore my bicep and had to have it surgically repaired the last weekend in May. Now I have to wait 5 months for the healing process.

 

Yikes. Heal well.

 

I just installed one through the top, pitman arm mounted to it and the master cylinder was installed but the bolts might have been loose. Had to rotate the box about 90 and wiggle, but it went in.
Then later imagine how foolish I felt when the service manual said I had to remove other stuff first.

 

I pulled mine out through the top today. I removed the pitman arm, unbolted the mastercylinder to give more clearance. Came out pretty easy. When I opened the box, the bottom bearings were all in the bottom. The plastic carriers were chewed up into pieces, now I need to find new ones.

 

Well, you beat me to it in the end. I ran out of time to do it before the Colorado trip and now I'm back working on the house. I'll probably get to it this winter.

 

My wife is not happy that I was defying doctors orders, but I got tired sitting around. She will get over it...

 

In the interest of your health she should offer to do the work while you supervise.
