If adjusting a steering box it is important to follow the factory manual exactly;the gear must be removed from the truck and the worm bearing preload set first before setting the over center adjustment.Although not hard to do adjusting a steering box is a safety related item and should be done properly.

  When initially setting up the gear box true the worm bearing preload is set first but the high point or sector lash adjustment can be done in the truck on an existing box.
