Mike,
I have just gone through this exercise and can offer a neophytes opinion.
Randall is by far the greater authority as he helped me out with issues
through the process.
1. If you have original usable parts, use them. This is what I found with
reproduction parts. The worm is supposed to present slight resistance in
steering at straight ahead and loosen as you go right and left. The repro
worm
is slightly cone shaped. That is not correct although I was able to get it
to perform well through very detailed box adustment.
2. The peg is supposed to be a press fit in the rocker shaft. (both repro
parts) I initially put it in and it fell out. I have resolved that as well.
3. When I had the old worm removed from the shaft it came off with no
damage, so had it not been chipped, it would have been reusable should I have
been
facing a situation as you describe.
