Corvette C3 1963-1982 Fix Sloppy Steering Tool on 2040-parts.com

This is a valuable Tool for all C3 owners. When it's time to grease your steering gearbox, this is the only way to properly fill it. These are no longer available from any supplier. For that matter you can't even find a mechanic that still has this tool. I tell you what else, when you fill your gear box, you will notice a big difference in your steering. It is very simply to use, the gear box has 2 bolts on top of it, in the center there is a stud with a nut. First remove the 2 bolts, insert the grease tool in place of one of the bolts, doesn't matter which one. Using a standard grease gun begin filling until you see grease start to come out of the other bolt hole. Now remove the grease tool, replace the two cap bolts.
Now start your engine and turn the steering wheel from side to side a few times. Turn off engine.
If you have play in your steering, now is the time to adjust it.
The center stud in the center of gearbox with the nut, loosen the nut about 2 turns, using a screw driver turn the stud in clock wise about a half turn, then check your steering wheel for play. Repeat a half turn at a time until play
is gone.
This service should be performed every time you grease your chassis.
Check my feedback. I have made and sold hundreds of these tools to Happy Corvette Owners.
Do Not Adjust Gearbox Prior to Filling With Grease.
Adjusting and driving without gearbox properly filled will very quickly wear out the enter bushings of the gearbox.
