Re: Red Head Blueprint Rebuilt Steering Gear Reply #75 – June 28, 2018, 11:10:22 pm You think there is anyone that would carry the filters and the gasket in town? tried NAPA and they can order the filter.. nothing on the gasket. Big truck store? Quote Selected
Re: Red Head Blueprint Rebuilt Steering Gear Reply #76 – June 29, 2018, 08:57:03 am Again, the gasket doesn't have to be done at the same time.IF it leaks, can be done at a later time.Remember, this is the gasket for the top lid. Oil level only reaches it if sloshing (like going around corner)/ normal oil level is several inches below the gasket. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Red Head Blueprint Rebuilt Steering Gear Reply #77 – June 29, 2018, 10:39:51 am If there is a shop in the area that sells o-rings you may be able to match one up,the "gasket is like a o-ring",think we had to get the filters from one place and the gasket from another,here's a tip,get a spare it's only a couple of bucks.

Re: Red Head Blueprint Rebuilt Steering Gear Reply #79 – June 30, 2018, 02:59:46 pm Well it's in. Took a couple hours to get it in and buttoned up.. waiting on my filters and gasket. After undoing the ring on the resivoir I figured out why it seeped ... no gasket lol.. soon to be fixed!! Then test everything to make sure it is right. Set up an alignment so all will be good.

Re: Red Head Blueprint Rebuilt Steering Gear Reply #85 – July 02, 2018, 09:07:25 pm How far out past flush with the body of the box resulted in this red bath? And, I am surprised that you got that far without hitting the mechanical stop on the steering knuckle. Quote Selected
