Hydro boost w/ Hydro-Assist and 1 PS Pump

so, when you pull the top plate off, the sector shaft comes up thru the top w/the plate?, after the arm is removed, of course.

you drill & tap the hole, spray away any pieces of metal w/carb cleaner, and reinstall,(and the sector lash hasn't changed?) ready to run?

then install end cap, and your set?

while you have shaft out of the box? should you replace the sector shaft seal(does it have a regular seal?), or can it be changed from outside the box, before you reinstall the steering arm? i've never taken a steering sector apart, is it as easy as what i have stated here? any surprises, anything spring loaded going to shoot out when you remove either top or end cap? or is it pretty much straight forward like stated here?

That is pretty much it. DO NOT rotate the input shaft at all when either of the caps is off. If the end cap is removed the whole power assist piston will come out and the ball bearings will scatter. The top cap will just require you to recenter the steering but the worm gear can rotate which is a pain in the ass to correct. Don't ask me how I know.

can you mark the steering sector shaft...and just make sure mark is same when puttin it back...to keep it centered?
