IFS steering box rebuild question
« on: Nov 21, 2005, 03:57:07 PM »
Whats up everyone,
My buddy Dan/Blingtaco is rebuilding an IFS steering box but he is having problems getting the bearings and worm gear all put back together.
If anyone has any tricks to help him out, he would really appreciate it.

its harder to explain then it is to do, I found it easy and it took about 2 miutes to do. Fill the 'pipe' with grease to hold as many balls that will fit in it.  Put the spiral shaft into the spiral hole until the first groove lines up with the ball hole. Stuff the rest of the balls in one at a time pushing them in with a  small screwdriver as far as you can while 'screwing in' the spiral shaft. When they are all in put the pipe on

Thanks, told him to use the grease trick also. He got it put back together. He was just getting frustrated.
