[Healeys] New steering worm gear

[goldengt at cal.net]

I had a machine shop do the swap. I sure do like the new one. No more dead spot that may or may not be on center.Ken Freese65 BJ8

Hi Richard,

Yes the cam is held onto the column by the end being "swaged" over ...This is how I get them off.

There is  steel plug on the end of the puller's forcing screw that is about 0.020" larger than the hole in the column.
Looks like this when removed. The plug is still in place here.

The triangular plate that the puller is pulling on (actually a home made mini flywheel puller) has a hole in it about 0.050" larger than the column itself.
Once
 the new cam is installed I just put 3 small TIG welds to replace the 
swage. The swage is just to prevent someone pulling up on the steering 
wheel and sliding the cam off the column.

I just purchased a new steering worm gear for my BT7.  Any tips on removing the old gear and attaching the new one?  I appears that the end of the shaft is swaged at the lower end of the gear.  If I grind this swaged area out in order to remove the old gear, will I then have enough shaft left to swage it again with the new gear.
