Default How to replace steering box on 72

My 72 manuals don't tell how to replace my steering box. I already have the replacment.

Any details appreciated?

Thank you,

Steve

Funny how things work. I just pulled my steering box today on my 72 BB roadster. Removal was easy, now the question is do I rebuild it myself or just buy a rebuilt box. What have the other members done? Who sells a good rebuilt box and who sells the parts for me to rebuild my own.

As far as purchasing service parts for your gear I wrote a paper and updated it in January. Go to http://www.corvettefaq.com and go to the Steering Section and Download:
Manual Gear Service Parts
There are also six pages that were scanned from the Chevrolet Service Manual on servicing the gear. The scans may be a bit large.
