Steering Box Thread Repair

Post by spongeworthy »

I figure the Bus owner crowd should know this one.

Let's say you have a '67 or earlier Bus steering box. The threads on the shaft that the pitman arm attaches to are a little distorted. What size die would you use to repair it?

I'm just trying to clean up the threads, not re-thread it to a smaller size. I'm having trouble getting the nut back on.

Thanks.

Uh...okay then. :roll:

I went over to Mesa West with my steering box today. They fixed the threads for me.

Thanks anyway.
