<p>Dave,</p>
<p>Looks correct. But once you loosen the gland nut, the oil from
the steering box will drip out while you work on the repair. Makes
quite a mess. In order to prevent the mess, make a funnel of sorts
to guide the oil into a pan. Dont forget to fill the box after
repair is complete. Also, make sure the wires that are pulled up
through the column are as tight as possible. I have always taped
them so they stay in place. Very tight fit. It is also a good idea
to tie a nylon string to the bottom of the wire harness so it is
easier to guide the re-fit by keeping tension on the string/wires
as the tube is lowered back in the column. This will require a
helping hand. Also dont forget to disconnect the battery before
you start with the wires.</p>
<p>Remember the horn/signal assembly is 60 years old and will tend
to be quite brittle. Handle with care as they are easy to crack. <br>

early 1957 TR3 and I have not done this before. Looking at
the Bentley manual on p 244, there is a section 4 on removal
of the control head from the steering wheel, in which you
disconnect the horn and flasher wires, loosen the gland nut
on the stator tube, slacken 3 grub screws and withdraw the
control head and stator tube form the steering column. This
is a regular steering unit, not the telescopic one. </span><span
