After much delay and procrastinating, plus a failed attempt at getting a professional machinist to replace the pin, I tackled the job myself. It took about half an hour of work, where I ground the existing pin smooth so I could hit the stub with a center punch. After that, I set it up in my drill press and progressively increased the drill bit size until I could insert the pin. As it stands, the current friction fit is tight.
Does this look OK? The pin stands slightly proud from the backside. I haven't test fit everything yet with the worm gear, et al. |

Gary, nice job, and you should have clearance on the back side, no problem. Also it doesn't matter how tight the pin fits,it cannot come out and even a loose siding fit will work.
Glad you did it yourself, so much more rewarding! Bill B |

Thanks. I did a test fit and the backside of the steering shaft hits the cover. Seems whoever touched the box before I did ground the backside to clear. I'll have to grind down the other side, where the pin makes contact. At least I have something for reference. My next challenge is to find some replacement bearings and then make a gasket for the cover.
