split steering help
aircooled70 - July 3rd, 2004 at 05:14 PM

hey everyone, got a bit of a problem . When I turn the steering it make a horrible sqeaking noise. Ive stripped it down and found that it is coming from the steering arm shaft (pictured). I have taken the locking bolt out and the squeaking stops. So how do I take this shaft out to oil it up ??? any helpers.

If that is a grease nipple on the pivot bush housing try greasing it with a grease gun. To remove it undo the bolt holding the arm onto the spline (at the top) and lever the arm off with a large screwdriver. If you do this laying under it, the pivot bolt/shaft will fall on your head. Ring Mick Motors and get a replacement pivot bush/bolt and replace the whole thing. Put a bandaid on your head.Easy!!!:thumb
