Almost certainly, that means the Pitman arm is not installed correctly onto
the rocker shaft. With the box centered, the Pitman arm is supposed to
point off to the side a bit, not straight along the tube.

Nope, wouldn't do it. If that were the case, you could just turn the worm
that extra revolution to get it centered.

As I recall, the book warns against turning the worm until the peg reaches
the end of the slot. I'm not sure exactly why, but I would guess that the
potentially extreme force against the peg/worm can lead to damage.
