Working on the M

Hi , I got the opportunity to work on the M today and was the weather WARM ! I got the belt pulley drive off and fixed and back on and working , and I took the steering gear out and turned it some and put it back in . The problem is I thought that the gear was real loose when I opened the top so when I put it back together I cranked down on the nut ( only with a 8" chanel lock pliers ) . I have a real good grip though . So before I closed it up I wiggled the wheel back and forth and it seemed much tighter so I put everthing back together and took it for a test drive . It WAS much tighter . I could barely steer it . I'm guessing that the gear doesn't need to be cranked down so tight . So tomorrow I take it all apart and loosen it one hole . Now for the real question - I saw that the upper bushing was the problem and needs R&R . Is this a hard thing to do . It's been leaking for what looks like a 100 years . 1/2" of crud packed in up there . I know that the lower bolster comes off and the shaft comes out the bottom but how is the new bushing installed , the I&T manual doesn't address this . Thanks to all !...Randy
