Best to jack the front up so you can feel the steering. The way the gears are cut, there is a "tight spot" when the gear is set straight ahead. As you adjust it, you will be feeling for that "tight spot".
Set the wheels straight ahead. Turn the wheel to lock, then turn to other lock while counting the turns. Then go back 1/2 the number of turns. That will center the steering gear.
Look on top of the gear housing, there will be a jamb nut on a short screw. Loosen the jamb nut, then turn the screw in until you feel slight resistance.
