yup mine is the same as that and that verifies that I have the coupler on the gear correctly Thanks!

I just checked the Lares web site that makes the steering gear and they say it uses the 201 coupler which is the one that I am using. So I think the gear shaft is correct.

Do you still have this for sale by chance ? I would not mine having a spare. Thanks !

Yeah I did pull the bolt and slide it forward but then I could not get the bolt back in to secure the rag joint to the gear shaft. I wonder if i slide it up further then I could catch the grove for the bolt. This is the current location of the rag joint.

I do still have the old one and it looks the same this is the one that I got. LARES 807 Remanufactured Info w/ Power Steering; Fast 10:1 Ratio (2.5 Turns Lock To Lock)

I replaced my entire steering gear. Once I removed the 4 bolts I also removed the three bolt that hold the grommet thing through the firewall. I then pulled the column back and I was able to install the rag joint from the top. Word of caution the damn hood hinge spring is sharp as hell and will...

Well with some gentle prying i got it to move a few millimeters. Still not close enough. I think I am going to pull the column back out and see if i can lube it up good and get it freed up. It seems really seized. I do have it that the safety pins are barely engaged but there is still around a...

I think when I put the column back in maybe I clipped the fire wall abs the column collapsed but I am not sure. I am going to try some lite prying tomorrow and if that doesn’t work I’m gonna pull the column out of the car to see if I can get it freed up.

I know what bolts you mean. I have them in but loose. I will give that a try. Worst case I can pull the column out of the car and see if i can get it to extend out. Thanks !

It does not seem to budge at all. I was doing some reading is there a bolt at the bottom of the column that needs removed to get the column to extend ? I don't wanna bust out giant pry bar and mess up the column. Thanks !

ok cool I will do down to the garage and see if i can get it extended. Thanks !

The rag joint or the column ? Thanks !

So I dropped the column today to install the new rag joint onto the steering box. That is done. When I went to put the column back in it's bolt holes they are in but the column seems to be to short. Does the rag joint have to be slid further up the shaft or am I missing something dumb. Steering...

Yup that is what i am going to do tomorrow. Use an long extension from the top of the engine bay since the long tubes are in the way to get a hammer in there from the bottom. The box is getting replaced with a new unit with a faster ratio so I can beat the hell out of it.

I do not have to worry about getting it off the box. I have a new arm and a new box. How does one use that tool you listed to remove the pitman arm in my case. Thanks !

I decided since it is Christmas today that I would start working on replacing my leaking steering box. I got stumped on this one though. Where the pitman arm meets the drag link there is no room to use a puller or a pickle fork. Is the easiest way to just hammer on the sides of it to get it to...

I am getting parts together to upgrade my cam and heads. I was looking at timing sets and I see they have ones listed for up to 72 and then 72 and up. Does anyone know is a 1972 mustang with a 302 uses the one piece or 2 piece fuel pump eccentric. Thanks ...

yeah I am going to make a patch for the bottom then the top and weld them both in to strengthen it up. I am also gonna check the other side to see if there are any cracks and if there are then patch that one awhile as well. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks that is what I think I will do.

What would be the correct way to fix this. I just got the car and saw this. Would welding in a patch and then re drilling the hole be the most efficient way to fix this shock mount ? Thanks in advance.
