Great thanks thats what I thought I'd seen mentioned in a few places. Finally got around to filling up the 76 box I have spare will replace the 73 box on my bus and re-new the seals on that now...
ok got it to this stage, was too dark to do more after that. Seems to be a plate preventing removal at the moment though…
From memory I pulled the plate off the arm and then pulled the box through the chassis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It’s a separate piece of metal ….just as @JamesLey said…..almost decorative…see if @snotty has any gold paint left.
Hmm not totally relevent but I managed to cut through the brown earth wire from the ignition while moving my sterring column about... any of you know where it goes... assuming fusebox but can I hell find the other end of it ...
Brown is earth as you say so it goes to an earth point, not the fuse box. There's a multiple earth point near the totem pole.
I've just replaced the seals on my steering box, I got them from bearings are us, sizes and part numbers below. If you haven't got a deep enough socket to knock the pitman arm seal home, use a bit of 35mm plastic waste pipe, its a perfect fit. Mine is a 79 late bay.
