I've come to fit a new steering bearing. Everything has gone well. Except the easiest bloody nut!
The top (left side) stantion nut was stripped. See shots below. I had to get medieval with it. No choice. Nut is off now (I'll re-chamfer the nut recess when the yoke is off).
The bad news is, I think the thread on the stantion rod is the one that's buggered. My thoughts are to run a die over it first and if it is stripped, then use the next die size down. I don't know what's involved in fitting a new rod, let alone the cost.
Anyone been here before? Any tips?
Cheers
