(great way to start a post) I started taking everything apart and it went pretty well, about an hour to grind out the old rivets. Then I bolted everything together before reading that the short bolt shouldn't be tightened right away. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif) I was able to get the cross bolt in and out so I figured it would be good to go. I just forgot I needed to get a socket on the cross bolt to tighten it, an open end didn't seem to fit as well as I was hoping. As I was struggling against the red locktite I remembered I want to change the steering box eventually and would have to go through this again. Jason, I have a suggestion. If you include a longer cross bolt with a long spacer, the head of the cross bolt will be above the shorter bolt. You could probably ditch the shorter bolt too so we can run 2 nuts on all the bolts. FYI, my friend's Chevelle has a similar looking rag joint and a thirdgen steering box supposedly has the same dimensions.
