Hello ,
This is my first post. I've been lurking for quite some time now. The information I've gleened from this forum is amazing. (soon to pony up and become a member!)
I have a 1988 four door SE with the I-6 and the pugouet 5-speed with 168,xxx miles
I have done the cluster swap, installed the ford 19# injectors and have replaced numerious worn-out parts from the local junkyards. (OHC and soundbar and headliner from one old XJ was my best day!)
Now for my question.........................
I am about to replace the steering box and pump. Mine is leaking from the bottom seal, right above the pitman arm. I understand about removing the pitman arm with a puller. But how is the best way to reinstall the pitman arm on the new steering box? Should I just realine it and pound it on or is there a tool for this job. Also, how far up should i put the new arm? My thinking is to push it up to the line of grunge that is already on the splined output shaft.
thanks to all who have helped me even if they don't even know they did.
