'need help with a dumb mistake on a power steering box 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Hampton on  Fri Jul 29 16:29 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Without telling you why I did it, I gotta confess to taking the cover off the power steering box on the '71 164. The box is still in the car, which conplicates this problem: The needles of the top needle bearing are loose in a zip-lock bag bag with the cover and the rest of the bearing. Now I don't know how to keep the needles in place while reinstalling the bearing in the box.

It would be an easy deal in something like a U-joint where I could use grease to keep the needles in place, but the ATP used won't do it, and I don't know if I can use a little grease to keep them in position.

Can I use some grease, and then after everything is assembled, make several changes of ATF to wash the stuff away?

If that's not O.K, is there another suggeston.

Jim Hampton
