Title: Steering Box
Post by: Nick Gramaglia on 14 September, 2009, 04:08:55 PM
Hi

Has anyone replaced the two oil seals in the steering box. I have removed the box from car and bought new seals, removed the 36mm nut that secures the drop arm to the splined shaft but cannot seperate the two. I bought a two leg puller but it was not strong enough for the job.Any sugestions ?

Heat, cool, hammer and patience I'm afraid. A puller with a blow torch should maybe shift it. But don't be surprised if it takes a few days (seriously).

Some sources of information - and encouragement  :D

There is a special Lancia steering box puller which significantly helps because it does not tend to slip away like other standard pullers. You may also need heat and tapping the puller as you try to separate the parts. Andrea
