Ok so has anyone else taken out there steering gear box?
I dont know what year they change the gear box, all i know is the ranger and the Bii had the same one in the 80's.
I was trying to take out the gear box, and the first thing i tried to do was disconnect both hydralic lines from the steering pump. One is on the right side (when looking into the engine compartment) held on with a threaded connection (bolt) the other is on the bottom, held on with a hose clamp.
I managed to turn the bolt at least a quarter turn, but it stopped and i couldnt get it off. So i moved on to the hose clamp, i had it held opened with vise grips, but i gould not get it off. I tried using a screw driver and a hammer, but it still wouldnt come off.
Does anyone know if im doing something wrong?
