Steering shaft re-installation
Completing the construction of a Unique 427...
Is there an easy way to press (hammer, beat, threaten) the steering shaft back into the universal joint above the footbox? It was a bit difficult to remove the shaft from the u-joint the first time (I used a hammer and a steel rod) and the whole time I was thinking, "good grief I'm gonna have to press this thing back in there at some point." Just figured maybe I could learn from someone who's been there before me. Keith :) |
I used a little valve grinding compound on the splines, work it on and off by hand, it will take a while to work it's way the full
lenght. when your satisfied, clean the splines with paint thinner and apply a little never-seize. Done....... |
