I am trying to access the $%^& steering box adjustment on my '93 F250. Yes, there is play between the input and the pitman so I know it's in the box. Will be buying a Red Top soon but want to wait for warmer weather. Meanwhile I just want to tweak it slightly.
Ford really outdid themselves making this nut (and hex) difficult to reach. It was very easy on my '84 F-150 smallblock but that big diesel takes up a lot of space. From above it's pretty much hidden under the PS pump pulley and belt. From the side (through the fender liner opening) I can see it clearly but I can't reach in there well enough without jacking up the truck and removing the left front wheel. Haven't looked underneath yet but I don't think my arm bends that way. I have moderately big paws so getting into tight spots has always been challenging.
Any tips? Thanks.
