Re: [Amc-list] Steering gear Bolt start

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm a far cry from my younger days when I used to be able to change 
SBCs by hand (feet straddling the fender wells, and a chain over the 
rafter like a chain fall I couldn't afford) Of course that was back 
shortly after training for the Canadian Olympic weightlifting team.
(we didn't go because Russia was in Afghanistan. I wanted SOOOO bad
to meet Nadia Comaneci!)
   My son and I decided that since it was starting to rain, we would 
load the Nash 327 into my storage truck by hand rather than pull out 
the engine hoist. Luckily we were stretched and energetic enough to
herf it up no probs.

Yeah, I don't understand the problem with holding a
box up either. In preparation to mounting one of those
things, I will do a couple dozen curls with a BW M12,
then follow with 287-2v squats. I finish by dead
pulling an AMC 20. Now I am ready to mount the
steering box.
In reality, that box can get mighty heavy if you are
holding it up with one hand and trying to start the
first bolt.
Chase all the threads, bolts and box, use a couple
drifts to steady the box, and make sure things are
clean and lubed. Then it should be OK....Russ
