[TR] Steering box Cam Gear replacement

[DAVE HOGYE]

Now that would be an interesting dilemma...backwards steering.
Randall described the important info on this subject.  
It would be best to let someone who has done this before handle the job.  
The gear is in fact, "swedged",I think that's how it's spelled, tightly in placed.  The length of the shaft makes it extremely difficult to change without the proper setup.
