little part here is what's causing that
that little part is causing this to not steer a little unimportant part but very
very hard to get to so let's get started first I got to drop the deck and drag it
out of the way and then I'm going to hook my ceiling winch to the front and
lift the front end of it up and I'll get under it and show you where the part is
that I need to replace what do you think you smell should I be scared
should I run well I'm gonna get down here and seal yet the part where it's at
come on one second there we go right behind this pinion gear I'm gonna
pull the pinion gear off and I'll be able to show you this nut this is an
eleven sixteenths I do believe yeah I got to get my wife out here to hold the
steering wheel but that's going to come off the pinion gear is going to come off
the steering column has to be pulled up a couple inches and then we've got a
right in here slide that new part in and that's the only way to get to it and I
think I can do it I've got some baling wire I can kind of reach in there and
move it around I also got a couple of picks that I could probably bend a
little bit but let me get my wife out here and get that nut and the pinion
gear off and I'll show you give you another look it'll be back alright
there's the new part in the old part and you can see this thing is watered out
pretty good you see this side brushes that side
versus the new one actually let's look down through this way you can see how
how much bigger it is so what's allowing it to happen is the pinion gear is
slipping pop it onto the rack and here is how you get the new one in I told you
Tom just right that's where it goes you see let's do this hold on I know I'm
jumping around here just give me a second all right
and go ahead and try to lower that steering comb back down in here
carefully all right you're in there so that's good is it all the way down yeah
push it all the way down oh there you go good deal so well wait a minute I may
need you to I gotta put this washer on I may need you to pull it back out just as
carefully hold on let me see yeah go ahead and pull it out on them carefully
oh hold on hold on doggone it let me let me see if I can get myself some more
room here well maybe hold on what you get that's
it okay
hey you got your calculator out well I'm looking at yeah yeah you know what this
opinion this rack is actually kind of one well I should have come head and got
a new pinion gear to that well may not have to replace the rack you know what
I'm gonna run up I'm gonna call that guy in Minden and see if he's got a pinion
gear because uh this is I don't know if you can see this pinion gear this has
got some heavy wear on it too well that's what it sounds like right
there that's well this is you know this is the part on that's the one on
replacing but I should replace this too it's probably just another eight or ten
bucks yeah I'm going to go stop what I'm doing and get a pinion gear there's no
sense in putting the old one back on because the the rack
absolutely the wrapper looks worn and if I can get away with not replacing that
for a few more years just replacing the thing in gear I'm going to do that so
we'll be back in a minute alright here's the difference between the new pinion
gear and the old pinion gear then the rack itself is a little worn out but I
think between the new bushing this is the old one between the new bushing and
the new pinion gear I believe this will last another 10 years and if it doesn't
I just replace that I think they call it a fan gear but I would know it as a rack
so I'm going to get up under there get this back together and I'll show you how
it works
okay that the new pinion gear is going to make all the difference that's in the
worn-out part of the rack but it's going to be okay think you know they're a
little bit more right there where is where it's worn at its worst and uh I
think as long as I keep the kingpins on the axles greased I believe it'll be all
right and if it doesn't this is not that big a deal it's 35 40 bucks to replace
this it's one two three four bolts no big deal
but I don't want to spend thirty five bucks unless I have to
we will see okay this is the marijuana looking Texas star plant and I just want
to show you how tall it is and my wife is what six foot hunt is on five hundred
five six so that's all tall the plant has got since I showed it to you last
