> You remove the box from the column, then you can put it in a lathe. Machining the seat to take a modern seal solves the problem. You can see how it's done on my website. You could also use a milling machine if you don't want to remove the box but it's a lot more work to align and clamp the box.

>> Interesting...
>> I have always found that the problem was attributable to corrosion on the rocker shaft where the seal seats.
>> I solve this by using 2 CR seals each of which is 1/2 the thickness of the original.
>> I'm a little confused as to how you get a steering box in a lathe???

>> Hi
>> On the other hand, when you have done all this you will find that it

>> And while you're in there you should also replace the bush.
