Raditor removal, the next step

Posted by Mike CA on September 02, 2007 at 13:10:57 from (75.31.175.171):

First thing I did today was remove the front steering cap on the bolster. I had a catch jar ready for the flow of oil, but nothing came out. When I got the cap off, this is what I saw. A big castle nut with a cotter pin engaged (looks tought to get out), a bunch of grease covering I'm assuming the end of the steering shaft, and a sealed bearing.

I'm sure the sealed bearing isn't stock, of course. The set up is very tight. There is pretty much zero play in the steering. When I move the steering wheel even a little, the wheel turns. My point is that I don't want to screw that up. The reason I'm removing the radiator is to fix the threaded nut behind the lower right grill bolt that keeps it in place. Should I just skip all this for now and worry about that nut later?

Or is this really not that big of a deal?
