Re: Steering box removal. 1950 F-1
I found a youtube video that explains the adjustment quite well, and what it does. I imagine I need a sector shaft and worm gear at the least and bearings etc. While the adjuster does tighten, which...

Re: Steering box removal. 1950 F-1
I think I will just take it somewhere, and pay the $300 plus parts to have it done. I don't have the time or the knowledge for this kind of thing. Honestly I don't. I'd probably end up with it too...

Re: Steering box removal. 1950 F-1
I wonder if the not hardened properly thing can be done after the fact. I work for a place that gets heat treating done on a daily basis. Or does it have to done pre machining? Most f the stuff we...

Re: Steering box removal. 1950 F-1
Well, I am worse off than when I started now... The guy I gave the steering box to took it apart, washed out all of the lubricant, removed two gaskets from the lower plate, and handed it back to me....

Re: 1950 F-1 steering column internal parts?
It's out. As far as a stop, mine looks like the tube is reamed out to a slightly larger diameter down to where the bearing is supposed to sit, and that's all. I used an impact socket as a slide...

Re: 1950 F-1 steering column internal parts?
Yeah, it's out, the box is getting rebuilt, now I just need to paint or powder the steering tube and shifter assembly. I wanted to get the bearing out before taking it somewhere, rather than chip it...

Re: 1950 F-1 steering column internal parts?
Anyone that could help with how to get the bearing out of the top, it would be appreciated? Do you have to have something all the way through the lower end to knock it out the top? Is there a lip at...

Re: 1950 F-1 steering column internal parts?
Sooo, how hard is it to get the upper bearing out? Do I need one of those dent puller style pullers? A broom handle from the opposite end? Or? I searched through my pile of parts and I believe I have...

Re: 1950 F-1 steering column internal parts?
On my phone right now, and any attempt to enlarge them closes them. I will look at them more when I get home. I just want to get everything squared away, and do it once when I put the steering box...

Re: 1950 F-1 steering column internal parts?
MUCH clearer now. Thanks for the help guys! I remembera spring, though for some reason I think it was under the horn bucket thing. Or is there two? It seemed right at the time for it to be there,...

Re: 1950 F-1 steering column internal parts?
Where does this go then? It has 3517 in the part number though. So, is all of the rubber gone, and it's the same part? The wedge piece in my pic doesn't seem like it's meant to hold up to a whole lot...

Re: 1950 F-1 steering column internal parts?
Well, I just stuck my fingers down into the lip, and found that it turns, so I guess it's some sort of bearing. The inner diameter is much larger than the steering shaft. Pictures in a couple of...

1950 F-1 steering column internal parts?
I just got my steering column out, and the steering shaft out of the steering column.
Now... The only thing at the bottom of the column was the tube, and the clamp holding it onto the steering...

Re: Steering box removal. 1950 F-1
It's a bare floor. I have a non original seat, but I have to fab some brackets for it. I gave up until I feel like buying some special pair of pliers that will leave a hand free to tug the shift...
