Subject: Re: LG6 Steering Box refurbishment
Finally plucked up the courage for this job, and it's progressed to the point of removal, apart from the steering wheel end of the steering column.
The wheel itself is off, by removing the screws that attach each spoke to the hub. The stator tubes for ignition/hand throttle are also off.
Can anyone offer any advice on how to get the collar/clamp off the main shaft? The clamping bolt is out but the collar doesn't seem to want to move, so I thought I'd ask before I apply too much force.
Looking down the inside of the shaft, there appears to be a keyway, so perhaps it's just a tight fit, but with this part still on, it's too large to pass through the hole in the firewall.
Also, does anyone know if the gators are available? Mine has disintegrated, and I suspect it wasn't the original anyway, being rubber.
Many thanks in advance, Mike
PS. By the way, there are a few photos on the Lagonda Owners Facebook group
