I have a 76'.
I am in the process of replacing the struts and have decided to replace the tie-rods as well since the joints are trashed. I want to pull the steering gear out so I can work on a bench and not under the car. I studied @IanKarr video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnuYLbZ89y8 but doesn't show it being removed. I can not see a way to remove it without removing a lot of parts of the suspension. In the Hanes manual, you have to remove the auxiliary carrier. (Page 103), Section 10, Removing the auxiliary carrier, Step 5. "Remove the torsion bar adjusting screws then pull off the adjusting levers and seals." I have no clue what this means and could use some instruction. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thank you in advance. Victor |

Seems to me that you see what needs to be done… all while hoping there’s a way to not do it that way lol. I think you’ve got the right material, now you just need to commit to the idea you are a classic car owner!
Sometimes you’ll really enjoy it, other times you’ll come inside and search the interior for a new hobby. But I’m telling you, there is no hobby as satisfying as this one! |
