I don't want to rain on your parade.... but the stud and jamb nut is an adjustment for the freeplay...
the 4 bolts are to take the center part out.... the part attached to your pitman arm... You are not attempting a simple gasket change... you are toying with having to rebuild your entire box... In my humble opinion.... or course... advice may vary here... http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/6540/sagboxyr7.jpg |

i've never taken mine apart, and it never leaked. but the sector shaft that connects to the pitman arm was worn and they replaced the whole box - luckily it was under warranty, 'cuz those babies ain't cheap and neither is the labor. if you put it back together, how is your steering now?

Problem is in Ireland no mechanic wants to look at its as not a standard run of the mill car, but then that why I bought it. Is the correct place for the pitman arm up tight to the bottom of the pump? |
