Steering drop arm removal

[Luke]

If you have ever tried to remove a steering box drop arm you'll know what a tw@t of a job it can be

After a short attempt at getting mine off i gave up and made one of these and it came off easy



the bolt is an M20 (30mm spanner) the gap is 50mm and the puller arms are 60mm wide 65mm long and the part which grips the arm is 15mm
the centre of the bolt is drilled to locate a ¼" ball bearing - which also helps locate to the drop arm shaft, and it also provides a posative pull

nice one Luke, dont let the landrover owners see it

[madmark]

might need you next time for a remove then mate took me 2 hours on the mk1

[motorwise]

making your own tools is very satisfying isn't it





best bit is it's cheap as well

[Transitwalla]

Heres an opportunity for club members to make / share those little tools that help make the job alot easier or are too damned expensive to buy for a one off job. Pay the postage there and back you can borrow it for the duration.. .. .. What say ya Luke? Workable?

p.s. i'd need to make sure the mk3 arm isn't different to a mk1/2 one
