  It looks like there is a lot of "seat of the pants" adjusting! What are the "DO NOT do this" gotchas? It seems the worm shims are somewhat problematic...thanks!

  Rebuilding a steering gear is a "by guess, by gosh" operation in most cases. It is complicated by the often questionable quality of the repro worm gears and sectors. I've scanned, and attached a page from the shop manual to show the order of assembly and the adjustment procedure. By the time you get it right, you will likely know more about it than you expected, or wanted.
