Hey guys another question?
I have three b’s all handbrake versions.
One has extremely hard steering like two hands to move the wheels. It had car tires on it so I assumed that was the reason and today after switching over to 3 rib 5x15 fronts it was still hard. So I dove under the tool box cover and noticed what appears to be a cap or freeze type plug missing at the end of the steering box facing the rear of engine.(gemmer box I believe) I’ve attached photos. Inside was nothing but sludge and old grease remnants so i brake cleaned it and blew it out with air and added an expansion plug to fill it with atf to hopefully clean it out. No better it also has play in the steering wheel as if a bushing is missing and has a 1.5-2” steel pipe over the old steering shaft some body messed around with it.
Any idea how to fix this steering or any used gemmer boxes with shaft and wheel available from a member. I’m in CT
Appreciate your Help as always.
