I'm having a hell of a time removing the steering levers from the 
idler and steering box.
I soaked the area in penetrant for days, then applied some heat (not 
the serious, de-tempering kind) and used my puller, but the force I 
had to use made me fear I'd break the pulling "ears" on the arms. 
They are back to soaking while I think about this.
It occurred to me that it might be effective to put in a spacer and 
screw the castellated nut back on, which would theoretically get it 
moving further on to the splines , and once it's moving make it 
easier to withdraw.
Any thoughts from the more experienced?
Thanks,
Stephen, BJ8
