steering relay bearing replacement





The steering relay is worn and the heat from the engine probably melts the grease a bit. So it needs new bushes.

Steering relay is a tight fit beside the exhaust manifold.
So to remove the relay with engine in situ the relay needed to be dismantled.

Getting the taper remover tool was also a challenge for the swivel ends.









The bushes needed to be reamed for 7/8" - I used a 21-23mm adjustable and worked my way up.

















The grease nipple isn't accessible at all as the exhaust manifold is in the way.
So a new nipple location has been added.

While removed the lower reinforcing web was trimmed further to clear the exhaust.
