Rick W Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Removing GPW steering box, column and wheel in the next few days, anyone done this? Any hints and tips. Not much I could find on G503 forum, or the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skapunkninja Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I done my steering gear yesterday, its a really easy job. Take off the nsf wing and the whole steering box and column will slide out nicely. The box is quite straight forward to take apart. 4 bolts for the side cover, clamp and 3 bolts for the column shaft. I had to reshim the column after all the new parts were fitted, but that's just a case of trial and error, adding and removing shims until the gear turns nicely. Also, watch out when refitting it all! It was abit tighter to get back in for some reason, and I ended up catching the oil pressure gauge flexihose. I didn't notice, and it made a lovely mess of the driveway when I.started it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
