Tip .... The manual says to insert the central spool with it's internal (identification) groove uppermost (steering wheel side) of the control valve. (My understanding. Please verify to your own satisfaction.)

Hope this helps!

Great video. So many times the steering wheel shaft is worn and pitted where it goes on the upper shaft seal causing it to leak also....

[@arichindustries]

I suspected this one to be that way, would've made a good video to weld up and turn back down!

How did you get the sector shafts out? Does the inspection plate have to come off in order to slide it out? And do you have to take both the back and front off in order to get the ball screw nut out?

All I had to do was remove the steering wheel and the upper portion of the steering column to get the orbital valve out. Worst part was getting the dash and all the sheet metal out of the way.
