I am "Chuck". Mine is a good ole 1966 Austin healey 3000 that's still plugging along. The kids called the car "Garage Furniture" as we dragged it form place to place over the past 30 years, but finally I have the time to treat it "right" and it's back on the road!
I'm trying to cap a few of the many oil leaks. Have a steady drip from the bottom seal on the steering box. Can one insert a new seal without pulling out the box (and half the car's front end that surrounds it!). Seems like there's enough room to remove just the castellated nut and the steering lever, and pull/replace the seal from under the car? If so, any "hints" would be appreciated!
Thanks, Chuck McB
