Rebuilding manual steering box - question?
While preparing to install a new Ididit steering column, I decided while pulling the old column to rebuild the steering box. I have a rebuild kit from Jim Carter on the way to me and it includes gaskets, oil seal, bearings, and new sleeves.
As you can see on the two photos below, there are two sleeves to potentially remove and replace. I'm fairly certain that I can drift out the one sleeve, but the second one has me a bit confused on how best to accomplish that. Here are the pictures. I would expect to use a small flat punch to finesse this sleeve out. If necessary I could use my press and a socket round enough to catch the sleeve but not the casting and press it out This is the one that looks tricky. The sleeve is pressed almost to the top of this part of the casting with only a small bolt hole at the top. I'm not sure how to get this sleeve out. Suggestions are welcome.
