| Can anyone tell me how to remove the column from the steering 
box on my '59 Plymouth Sport Fury (pwr steering)  I have the column/box out 
on the bench and have the 58/59 service manual along with the '59 supplement but 
can't seem to find anything in the books on this.  Replaced seal on pitman 
arm end but it also leaks on column end.  If anybody out there has done 
this before any tips on seals would be appreciated also.  I just removed 
the automatic transmissions from 2 - '59's so if anybody out there is planning 
on doing this needs some tips maybe I can help them (learned a few tricks doing 
this twice).  The trany on the Sport Fury went out about the same time as 
pwr steering leak (the color of the car is "bittersweet") the color name kind of 
sums up the situation, but I got a parts car with a good trany so if the 
installation goes as well as the removal I'll be back on the road.  Sorry 
for the length of this but any info on column removal and replacement of seals 
will be appreciated.   John Z in WI    (went to a car 
show today in Wausau, WI - pouring rain all day but still there were about 75 
cars there - but wouldn't you know it - no fwdlkrs!) |
