One thing I forgot below. Be careful when you adjust the worm to sector clearance because if you get it too tight right in the center where the majority of wear was, then it will be way too tight out near the ends where the wear is less. When you removed it before, are you sure you replaced it the same way (clearances, end play, end bearign cap shims, etc) with the wheels pointed the same and sector in the exact same place, because this could affect your clearances and resultant steering. Let us know how you come out. Good Luck Ol John T

36 A, as long as you didn't change the eccentric setting, swap the worm bearings or leave a worm bearing shim out it should have the same settings it had before disassembly. ~The worm turns completely around more than once & the sector is centered on it when in the straight ahead position so it makes no difference how you install it. It always goes back in the same mesh position.
~If all was installed the same as it was before, you probably just have a lack of grease on the worm to sector.
~If that eccentric bushing is worn enough to allow significant fore/aft spindle movement, you really should replace it (I couldn't find a new one about a year ago & had to make one from brass). ~To get the sector gear off, I usually jack the front up until the front wheels are off the ground then back the sector gear nut off until even with the top of the spindle threads then rap the top of the spindle with a big hammer on a round brass bar. Don't over do the hammer but usually a couple of good swats does the trick..... ...

check to see that your bearing didn't fall out of place when the end cap went on.

I have gotten the gears off before by using a series of pinch bars (with a roll wedge end) that can get a bite down under the gear while I rap the loosened top bolt with a hammer and also rap on the bars. If you moved the steerign shaft worm, you are now meshing (worm to sector) in new places and you may need to readjust the worm to sector clearance by rotating the eccentric adjusting bushing and adjusting the horizontal end play by addign or removing gaskets under the end bearing cap. Good Luck Ol John T in Indiana

In many places we have had luck welding a shaft back up and then getting her back down to size, so if you have the ability to do so it will work. If you can buy a new used shaft at the same or less cost though, I would probably do that. When you fit the new end cap bearing, buy the gasket shim set that has difeent thickness gaskets is how you set the horizintal end play and rememebr when settign the eccentric bushing for the sector to worm clearance, theres more wear in the center so dotn set it so tight that its too close out near the ends. Good Luck Ol John T
