And it's the home straight on side 1......
This shows the Taylor & Jones reamer. The curtting blades are under the white label and the square end is off to the right. I used the adjustable wrench which worked fine.
On the left part of the tool is the pilot, which ensures both bushes are aligned. For this one is supposed to use the taper attachment to the left which resembles a salt pot. The black nut is removed from the reamer to add the pilot. Foreground is the stub axle and although perpective doesn't help here. the pilot isn't long enough to do it's job. So my improvised bush, which is the silver collar at the left end of the pilot, is made from a mock chrome effect coachline which has been in stock for this very moment. I was able to wind it round the pilot so that it was an exact fit in the second bush - so aligning the two.
Here's a close up....
Here are the components. The original blue spring to the right, and the Mulfab shorter spring to the left. The steering bearing is the silver washer, reflecting light from the camera flash. I've replaced the rebound springs as it seemed daft not to. The originals are slightly shorter, due to 'wear' no doubt.
Steering bearing, not yet greased.
Dry fit assembly........
Apply grease with clean fingers. I took some time in cleaning out the swarf from the stub axle. It really does need to be spotless inside.....
Greasing the steering bearing.....
And so to the assembly>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
