I bought a steering box from Mart for my D1 y back in December. I Never installed it. I paid $170. its yours for $150 obro plus shipping. I will deliver anywhere in MA.

Intermittent starting problems get worse when it's cold. 97 D1. Styling is clicks . Starter turns really slow or not at all. If I try a few times it starts up just like normal. But on days like this morning it just clicks every time I try until I give up and go inside. The n when I came out...

Anyone have a good deal on a non- leaking steering box, before I go buy a remanufactured one? Please email me if you do at cookdustan(at) gmail.com Thanks

Does the steering box leak?

This morning I pulled the rocker shafts off and double checked everything. It all looked good. So I put it back together just like it was. Started it up and it sounded great until it started to worm up. And then the squeak was bad back but not as loud. As I listen to it it seams to become less...

Thank you guys for all the tips and advice. We got it off with the bolt extractor(twist socket) Worked great. The heads are now at the machine shop.

Ya it's clean. I can't believe how tight these things are. Would tightening the other three bolts back down be helpful to take off some pressure or just the one next to it. We will be working on it again this afternoon. Ill stop by an pick up one of those extractor socket things. Thanks for...

Very true.

Do those work for something that takes as much tourque as these head bolts do?
