I have made all the adjustment that can be made and have determined the steering box on my 67 is shot.
Is the replacement process as easy as Bentley says?
Any tricks that I should know?
Thank you for ANY help!

LOL, Its never as easy as the Bentley shows it to be. Very Happy Its always difficult for me to remove and replace the drop arm. Dont use a hammer, its more a finesse deal. The backside bracket only fits ghia 1 way, there should be an arrow or mark to show proper ghia orientation.

My thanks go out to darrel for the help.
The project turned out to be pretty straight forward.
The only mess up was I should have taken the tie rods off.
Instead I removed the arm from the box. This made lining up the splines time consuming.
I will button up the job this afternoon and drive into the sunset...... Very Happy
