Hi David,
It should not be too difficult to change the end plate without removing
the steering box, you would just have to take care to avoid having the
ball bearings and race from dropping out while you did it.
If you cannot find one locally I have several steering boxes from which
I could supply the end plate.

Subject: Stator Tube Nut
Hi,
-Don't mean to bombard the list, but I've been away, and have collected
a few
issues that had piled up in the interim...
Unfortunately, the treads for the brass nut that hold the stator tube
and
olive in place on the front of my steering box is stripped (not the nut,
the
threads on the box itself). I've tried a new nut -NG. I'd like to try
to
fix the problem without pulling the grille, or removing the steering
column if
at all possible.
Any thoughts on how to get around / or repair this problem?
If I had to replace the front plate on the steering box (and a new plate
could
be found) Do you think it could be replaced in the car without removing
the
grille?
