Paul, thanks.... Sorry to be so obtuse but is this the steering arm? Looks like
there are 2 bolts on each...?

Yes, but then you need the scissors taper cracker
(http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/images/bjs1.jpg) to get the pin out of the arm.
There are other tools said to be suitable but they either don't work or end-up
damaging the track-rod end. Just undo the two bolts securing the steering arm
to the swivel axle and you will be fine. Oddly these don't have lock-tabs,
torque to 60-65 ft lb.
If the rack shaft has a notch for the U-bolt clamp bolt instead of a groove all
the way round it will only go back together in one position anyway, just count
the splines that are cut into by the notch and make sure there are the same
number either side of the slot in the U-joint. The column shaft by contrast
has a groove all the way round, so you should leave this alone and only undo
the rack side, that way you are sure of getting the steering wheel aligned as
it was before.

Ok, so I don't have a 'scissors taper cracker' (or at least I'm pretty sure I
don't)..... Are these the nuts to remove on the steering arm end?
