Steering box rebuilding

[sunbby]

So one of my options for an Invasion tech session is rebuilding a steering box.

I have the box removed from our Series V, and I can bring it to the Invasion to go over.

Does anyone have pointers about rebuilding one? I think I even have new ball bearings I ordered sometime ago.

What about replacing the bushings? I assume I might have to get a machine shop to do that, in which case I can try to get that done beforehand.

I've also seen replacement bearing races on eBay, any opinions on the need for those?

What all parts do I need?

Any and all suggestions welcome.

I have a box that needs a re-build and would find a tech session really helpful

Every few weeks I open the box that contains the accidentaly dissasembled parts of my steering box
Then I decide to attack that job later. I still have a long way to go before it needs to be fitted to the car.
I did get a few encouranging replys to a post I made several months back about it but havent tackled it yet, so I'm unable to help!

I too have a worn box. I bought a used one but it turned out to be just as worn. Tried many of the suggestions from this forum. I am told once the worm is worn there is no cure - and they are all worn. Keep us posted.
