WTD: Steering Clamp

[george]

Guys

I need a the clamp that goes between the steering box and the steering coupling. I can't get my one off the old steering box.

Let me know. Its small enough to post.

Thanks

blowtorch and a hammer and you'll have it right off...

You have undone the pinch bolt? It goes through a slot on the input shaft of the steering box and the "clamp" as you call it (can't think of a better name, mind ) can't be removed from the input shaft as long as that bolt is present...

If you're still stuck I probably have one here. Let me know if you can't get it off...

i don't have a blow torch, did heat it with a heat gun until it was starting to turn red, it was as hot as the heat gun would get it, still no joy

if you have one trev i'd take it as it would save me time, let me know if you have and what you want for it. do you do paypal

jebus!! you got it red hot with a heat gun??? That should have been more than enough!!

I'll check for you now...

 

[george]

i have 3 heat guns, one is much more powerful than the other 2, still no place close to a torch

 

[trev]

this the part you need?

goes between the input shaft of the steering box and the rubber donut?

PM me your address, I'll put it in the post at lunchtime tomorrow.
No charge, you can get me back some other time
