I’ve forgotten most of what I sort of knew and sometimes did.

Granted I was never a top of the line auto mechanic and I am good in some areas but lacking in others.

The latest case is the 65 Willys worn out steering box. I sent it off to be rebuilt. It looks like more of an art form and given the quality of aftermarket parts, I don’t know if I’d trust the box.

I’m glad there is a rebuilder crowd in AZ. The box goes out tomorrow.

The only thing holding it together originally was the column being bolted down.

It about fell apart when I got it on the vise.

The first few clips will give you an idea.
