[TR] steering box rebuild

Oddly enough, that is one of the few areas I've never had apart.  But as I
recall from previous discussions, the worm gear is a light press fit on the
(splined) shaft and then the end of the shaft is peened over to lock the gear
in place.  Sounds like removing the old shaft without damaging it is the hard
part.

I probably should tackle this someday, as I have a very nice original worm on
a ruined shaft; and the worm on my car shows some signs of wear.  But I have
always been in a hurry to get the car back on the road and the old worm was
"good enough" ...

Let us know how you make out.
