Looks like it has been apart before, assuming convex washer was on correctly. Sent from my SM-A127F using Tapatalk
There's a chap that advertises in Hayburner that referbs them for about £350. New bits and machining, not used the service just seen the advert.
Nah , if I remember the conical washer sits above the race and holds it down ?? I may be wrong though... its been a while. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
All cleaned, new seals fitted just need to warm penrite up as it wouldn't pour . Sent from my SM-A127F using Tapatalk
Just took my spare steering box apart after reading a few threads…looks like one small step in the bush of the adjuster plate… is that acceptable wear ?
The wear is acceptable if you can adjust the steering box properly and it stays adjusted. You have what appears to be one slight wear step there, almost certainly perfectly OK. Each time the adjuster screw is set in a different place, it moves the visible wear point - the step is where the corner of the end of the output shaft rubs. It doesnt look like it has dug deep. Totally unlike in my horrible picture from early on where it had run out of metal to wear. And the hole where the shaft went into the bushing was worn visibly oval. And when it gets like mine, the bushing in the "nose" of the steering box near the output arm has also worn to allow the shaft to rotate with one end 1mm out of line with the other end- it rattles around if you take off the side cover.
I seem to remember heating the boss with a hot air gun to release the collar and shaft ??? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Is this a kit for a late bus and if so I dont seem to have those 2 red items in my box ?... Also looking for a size of the o-ring in the cover plate if anyone has please... My guess was 85.2 or so ID with 1.78 section...
It is, although I haven't used it. I'll see what's in it later (if I can find it). Can you not just measure the o-ring? Will be a standard size.
Right, I've had a measure, as best I can. Big seal - 38/28/7mm Smaller seal - 32/22/7mm No idea what the red bits are for as I haven't used it. One's an o-ring, one's a fibre washer. O-ring - 15/12/2mm Washer - 18/12/1mm In the kit, the big o-ring was just a strip of round section rubber. Cut it to size I assume 2mm diameter, 350mm long HTH
I don't know what "mtb" means. I see it's Teflon grease but don't know whether it dissolves in oil or even if it would matter if it didn't. Can't see the logical harm either way.
