I'm wanting to have my 1965 BJ8 steering box refurbed?
My mechanical prowess is the ability to unbolt something, send it out to ha=
ve fixed, and bolting it back on.
Who's the guy who rebuilds Healey steering boxes?
Do I need to send the entire steering column(s)?
If not, Can I remove just the steering box from the car or does the whole c=
olumn =C2=A0need to come out?
If so, How the heck do I ship an entire steering column?
I live in Connecticut 40 =C2=A0minutes from NYC.

Greg,

The steering box and column are all one piece and must be removed together.
May I ask why you would like refurb the steering box? Leaking seals, sloppy
steering, or ???. If it is sloppy steering try adjusting the thrust screw
on top of the box first. A good choice for a repair shop is a place that
repairs heavy duty truck (i.e. highway truck) steering boxes. The AH
steering box is very similar in design and there should be shops that do
this work near you.

The steering box for your Healey is the same as my BT7. The steering =
column housing is solder into the box. It can be removed but it is =
something you probably don=E2=80=99t want to do because it can be =
difficult to solder back on and get a complete seal. The reason I know =
this is a had the box and column powder coated and the powder coat melts =
about the same temperature as solder and I had to resolder the column =
with a higher temperature solder and have it powder coated again.

You need a long box to ship it. =F0=9F=98=8A You should be able to find =
one, if not get a box and a tube for the column and assemble one.
