  1. I’m anxious to get it out of there and start working on the nose, but I still have to fix a rear axle seal while it’s in there. Summer is flying right by and after a week in San Diego it’s taking me a little while to get back in the loop, very easy to just turn lazy. I forgot to mention straight line steering did tell me that most of those internal parts in mist cases are obsolete
  2. Any more issues down the road I will just order a rebuilt box
  3. Well I was going to pull it apart mainly to clean it properly but I see there isn’t much inside but spring washers I’ll just put in all the seals I bought and clean everything up real good and reassemble I bought a sector bushing and it doesn’t even look like there’s anything wrong with the one in there thanks for your input, Geoff…
