Re: Steeing Play - How Much?

I usally use my 6 year old to help with two man tasks. He was great for bleeding the breaks. I'll need someone bigger to turn this wheel.

Dangerous is right. I won't be driving this on an occupied road again until it's safe.

Re: Steeing Play - How Much?

if it is gear box slop , loosen jamb nut on adjustment bolt and start turning in bolt clockwise a half turn at a tine , you should start to notice less slop in wheel as you turn adjustment bolt in . hold a wrench on the nut while turning the bolt in as sometime's the nut turn's with the bolt if it is rusty. 'if free play get's less just turn till you a small amount of play , if you get it too tight your gear box will be sticky in the dead center position, and simply loosen it back up a little , if this don't take the slop out of box then i would suggest a different gear box.
