I discovered the reason that my stator tube would not go thru the steering's
inner column. It only did so when I removed the steering box's end plate
(with the four bolts). The end plate catches on those anti-rattle rotating
slits. Should I have known this? I don't recall this being in the workshop
manual.
However, there was a slight coat of rust already on the gaskets and
bearings. I know much corrosion is a definite deterrent to things working
properly. I don't see how a slight rust powder would gum up things, or prove
contagious, if I shut everything up and filled it immediatly with 90 weight
oil. Does anyone agree with me?
Thanks, Paul Dorsey 60 TR3A
