Any recommendations on putty to restore steering wheel cracks?

107 was the majic number for me. I did 60 for the clamp bolt. Thanks fellas!

sounds like a reasonable plan. My M38 is the late style. So should there be any drage on the bell crank when it move left to right? Im not sure how free its supposed to shift. or should it be somewhat stiff? it would be easier if there was a spring scale measurment on it like the front knuckles.

S ...

Thanks for the feedback, this is why I asked. Lots of confusion on this topic. to re-cap, 60 lbs on the clamp bolt and 115 lbs on the shaft bolt.

I am re building my steering and am asse3mbling my rebuilt bell crank and am not sure how tight the bell crank bolt should be...I am assuming there is a tourqe. Can anyone assist? Thank you!

Fellas,

Silly question, how much play should I EXPECT to have in my steering wheel? I have replaced hub cups and bearings along with knuckle hubs and bearing along with all new seals etc. If I have too much play in the wheel, how do I correct it? Thanks in advance!

Agreed, thats why I bought it. I must say, I have never spent $60 on a book before.

tracking like a tank...I thought it was part of the bearing project that I am about to tackle.

I can not find the part number for the "Z" seal...can you assist with this?

where does one buy a spring scale?

I also see a seal "Z". I am assuming I will need to replace that as awell?

I have the hub nut socket....no spring scale.....Am I getting over my head?
