Steering Box Install

(1/2) > >>

McSwerve:
Hi All

I have a new steering box to install on the 90, and I’m doing the great ‘should I do it or take to a garage’ debate.

There are a couple of installation guides on the web, and in the Haynes, but does anyone have any direct experience?

Also an independent said it’ll take 3 hours labour. Does that sound about right?

Cheers chaps

Do it yourself, takes about 60 to 90 minutes

Here you go all the information you need

I have literally just finished it, the hardest thing to do was to remove my steering guard.  I got a ball joint splitter (screw on one, not hammer on) to make it quicker.  Then, the second hardest was lifting it up into place on my own and getting the bolts in.  I replaced my 6 bolt with a disco 4 bolt job, now I go where I want and not where it wants!!!

I had spotted that link, that seems really helpfull.

But, I've been trying to track down a 34mm socket. Any idea where they're 'on the shelf'.

Cheers

Halfords sell individual sockets (from their Professional range). I would have thought they would do a 34mm.
