[Chrysler300] 1956 300B Steering Problems: Need help, anyone have tool C3445

["Jim Ashenmacher" <ashie1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello to all:   This is in reference to my power steering problem.

    It appears, per the service manual,  I have a "control valve" out of adjustment.     My problem is steering wheel torques to left on start up of car.   And it's a "hard" torque.    Per all I can determine the service manual says to adjust the control valve.

    After searching the internet,   I found an adjustment procedure on the Imperial web site.    Seems more straight forward than the service manual, but it advises you need tool C 3445 to do this adjustment.   It can be done with the steering column/box in the car.

    Anyone have experience doing this?

    Anyone have the tool or a substitute or drawing or idea what this tool entails?    Maybe I can make one if I knew what it looks like.

This steering issue is my last hurdle (hopefully)  to getting "Brutal" on the road (my wife's name for the car).

I'll take any advice I can get,  as looking at the cutaway of the steering box/system I dread trying to rebuild it as I know I'll get it apart and never get it back together again.

All comments appreciated.
