- Can one replace the seal on the lower end of the rocker shaft by removing the steering lever without having to remove the entire steering box from the car? I have a leak from the bottom of the steeri

- Dave Russell summed it up pretty good. I fashioned a "hook" from a bent flat screwdriver. The trick part is getting the new seal in. I made two "drifts" from 1/8" steel rods that I ground flat on one

- Which model - but yes - though you may have to remove the front wheel and some sheet metal for access. Remember to hold the steering pin up into the rocker arm as you lift the arm from the steering b

- The easiest way to drain the steering box is to remove one of the bolts at the end of the steering box and the oil will drain out. If you remove either one of the bottom two bolt that hold on the en
