Ford steering box

[Matt Newman]

I'm trying to get back together the double pitman arm steering box on my 801 ford with very little success. I have a manual, but it doesn't seem to help much. What's the trick??

I can"t find the other posts on this. I got to take my steering unit apart, 801, and would like to know any tricks ahead of time. I got parts list, mine is power steer. Put a new seal in last fall and it blew, steers very hard. Thanks for any advice. G.S.

I left you a detailed message.. I'm not going to retype it.

You need to also get a service manual.. there is a step by step instruction section for R&R of the steering gear.. etc.
