I decided to have a crack at rebuilding my steering box. I can see why I was warned not to! Spent a bit of time chasing ball bearings around the garage but ultimately got it all back together and shimmed up. Took the time to give it a clean up and will get it painted up 2 pack black at some point. I also picked up my interior from Brent at Brent Parker Motor Trimming. He fitted up my seat covers, rear c pillar covers and repaired my sun visors. He did an awesome job and was impressed with the quality of the Aldridge covers. All I need to do is mask and paint up the metal sun visor frame.

I used a puller to remove the steering arm

There was practically no oil in the box
