you could work out the shim pack before you install the seal. I would set it up with a nice easy to turn feel, slightly on the preload side of zero preload (so that it cant move out of alignment under load) It should turn smoothly and easily. This will need to be done with the sector shaft (shaft and peg) lifted clear which will require removal of the box from the carrier.
Of course non of this is achieveable unless the components are in good condition.
There is probably a mark on the spline of the sector shaft that needs to be aligned with a mark on the vertical tube it fits into.

Default Info

Doug, Ross, and others. If you have one laying around, and are not sure what it fits, the sector shaft ( CO1UC 105660) has the number 144985 cast into it. It also has a square where the adjustment screw thrusts against it.
Ross, the peg is part of it.
Doug, I have a number for the bottom seal only. 128 N 100 GK. It may not help you.
If there is no master spline, care will need to taken to make sure the box is centred and also the drop tube arms are central before the two are joined.

Lynn, Kevin,
Have found a number for the lower seal posted some time ago by >Rob Love. The seal # is: National 472311. I will try and find out the other seal later on today. This is for a Canadian steering gear box. I was able to get a bearing for it from Brian Asbury.
The metal works is going but slow. Will send you a e mail on this.
Thanks for your responses, on the carrier info. questions.
Doug
