RE: Steering gear box removal

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I took mine out thru the bottom on my 63 Fury Butch. I think I  removed 
the starter first too. Be prepared it's heavy. Now as far as putting it 
back in here's a trick I came up with because I found it impossible to 
try and hold it up in place with one hand while laying on the floor and 
getting the first bolt started with the other hand. I tied a rope around 
the box and had my son pull it up thru the engine bay. That took all the 
weight off of it so I could wrestle it back in place and get the bolts 
started. Btw I got my box from Steer & Gear too. Nice people.
