    Series IIa steering box rebuild

    My steering box casing has cracked and I have sourced a complete replacement unit.

    Before I install the replacement box, I figure I'll strip it down, clean it out and give it a refurb...

    What are the issues that I'm likely to find?

    I'm thinking that while I've got it opened up, I'll replace all the loose ball bearings - but what do I replace them with...? Steel, Crome, stainless steel....? What size and how many will I need?

    Any and all suggestions appreciated...

    Cheers,
    Warren.

    Not sure about New Zealand, but this is a commonly available rebuild kit which includes the necessary bearings, available, presumably, from most Series Rover parts suppliers.

      All the best for the All Blacks Rugby team in the RWC 1/4 finals !
      As Mark has said, these are available from many sources.
      The Genuine ones have lasted for 40 plus years, so I would go that route plus gaskets and the out put O ring.
