Re: (ET) Skipping steering

         By removing the steering shaft from the control cabinet, yes. The 
nastiest part will be removing the steering  wheel from the pinion shaft 
without destroying the wheel. Take some time to grind some material from the 
sector shaft support, where the pinion gear rests. This is a trial and error 
procedure, to ensure maximum penetration of the pinion gear into the sector 
gear. While fiddling with this, it is also a good time  to adjust the sector 
to support clearance, again to maximize gear tooth contact.
         After completing these procedures, then you will be able to see 
how horribly loose all the rest of the steering linkage is. <G>
