Splitting a Ford 3000

yep.. sometimes taking entire steering box off helps the most.

Yes taking the steering box off was worth the effort. Just wondering though. I didn't see any gasket under the steering box, should there be one? Maybe when I put it back on I will use a bead of silicon to keep any water out. I am heading out of the city tomorrow night and I hope to get her back together this weekend. Now that I have the new I phone 5 I should be able to ask any questions from the middle of the bush. LOL

Just wondering. Does the pilot bearing and the release bearing require any grease?
