[TR] sharpening adjusting screw

[DLylis at aol.com]

Paul,
I don't know if you have heard from others on this as I have been  away.  Do 
not grind, file, etc. in your steering box to remove the  "stiffness" in your 
steering.  Find out what the problem is.  In an  earlier post you talked about 
removing the front plate of the box to insert the  stator tube.  It is 
entirely possible that in replacing it you have  captured the worm too tightly and 
therefore introduced this issue.  
Disconnect your tie rod ends and work backwards to find out where the  
binding is located.  There is little or no friction with that pin you are  
considering filing, unless, of course, it is tightened unnecessarily  tight.  
I have found that proper adjustment of the pin is a more delicate procedure  
than imagined, and properly adjusted will produce steering wheel action that 
is  not too tight nor too loose, and will meet the specs described in the  
manuals.
