    Howdy,
    I'm in the process of tightening up the steering on my "new" 1957 CJ6 by rebuilding the Ross box and the bellcrank. Tonight, I went to press the bushings into the box... lo and behold they fell right through:shock: The sector shaft is 15/16" diameter instead of 7/8". Any thoughts on what I have?
    Thanks!

    Wow, I'm missing 2 cylinders! Thanks for the info. Would the bushings happen to be a NAPA item?
