Aloha,
Just got my first antique car. 29 Model A. I need to rebuild the steering box (7 tooth) because I found a broken bearing, and I took the steering column out, I may as well replace everything.
I am trying to remove the worm gear, but there is a retainer clip in front of it. I canʻt seems to be moving the worm gear back to be able to remove the retainer clip.
Any advice?
Also how difficult is it to remove the bushing? I guess you need a press and some kind of metal rod smaller in diameter than the bushing and press the bushing out?
Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated.
