Thanks all for the good advice. I'm sure it will save me a lot of unnecessary grief. /Butch/ Ferndale, WA -----Original Message----- From: Dan McCormack [mailto:mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 11:48 AM To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Steering gear box removal 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.
