Steering box replacement

[bovw]

04, got the box from Will, any shortcuts or tricks? Haven’t done one of these yet.

I just did this Dave. I used a floor jack with some wood blocks to lift and hold the box in place while I found the bolt holes.
I assume it came with a pitman arm already on it? If so, that's half the battle.
Wish you were closer, I'd come help or you could bring it here.

Don’t forget to bleed it at the box and remove any extra play in the box. It’s pretty straightforward.

Thanks Walter, I don’t think I trust the steering to drive over the mountain.

Yes, pitman arm is on it.

Will do, thanks.
