My 9n steering shaft and bearings, and sectors were shot. So badly rusted was the steering wheel to the shaft I had to cut it off. Nothing would come apart.
I got a combination of used sectors a new shaft and bearings. I have a question about the location of parts going back together. Ive read my F0-4 section on this and still need answers. My bearing races will not just slip over the shaft. Do I have to press the races over the shaft? If so how far down do I press them to. There are 2 spots on the shaft that are larger in diameter than the rest of the shaft I assume that is where the races should be put to. But if the races are a press fit than there will be no adjustment for mesh and backlash. Should I put the shaft in a lathe and take off enough material to give me clearance for those races? And can someone tell me where they get replacement nuts for the steering post (13/16ths by 28 thread)as my were badly rusted to the shaft and it all had to be cut apart to be removed. Thanks for any advice. I can post pictures if needed.
