Hey Everyone,
I have a 1971 Cheyenne Super, and I'm having to replace the steering gear due to excessive road-walk. It looks like a pretty strightforward project, and I'm already to the step of pulling off the pitman arm. I've got two questions though.
- After I have removed the pitman arm retaining nut and washer and am about to pull the pitman arm off the steering gear shaft, do I need to loosen the nut on the other end of the pitman arm, the one that holds the pitman arm to the steering linkage? Or is there enough play to leave that tight?
- As far as I can see, there is only a pinch bolt holding the steering shaft coupling to the steering gear, correct? Just take the pinch bolt out, and the steering gear should slide out of the steering shaft?
TIA for any replies.
