80 series steering HELP
Has anyone rebuilt one of these and how the f#@k do you get the worm shaft ball bearings back in. They support the screwed shaft in the piston assy. The book says not to remove the wormshaft (thats probably why ) but I had to replace the seal in the valve body so there must be a way of getting the bearings back in. Otherwise I will have to get another one from the wreckers $$$$

I have done mine awhile ago, but haven´t taken pics of the job 
.
It took me almost all day to figure out how it works and then I was able to put it back together, basically you have to insert the shaft, then drop balls (1 by 1 / 1 after another) into it and spinning the shaft slowly which will allow the balls to find there way in, while you are doing so, don´t leave gaps between balls while spinning shaft, this will ensure you get all the balls back in, then fill up the U/bridge section with remaining balls and bolt it back on to the piston (or whatever it´s called).
It is a little more complicated than that, but mess around with it for a while until you understand how it works.

for this section i used a small amount of grease to hold the balls in U/bridge section with remaining balls and bolt it back on to the piston (or whatever it´s called).
just put a small amount of grease to hold the balls but not to much i have done this to 3 steering boxes now so i have 3 boxes for spares and you can buy the seal kits from ebay quite cheep

, got the sh#ts and tried to carefully drill it out but no good so it looks like a trip to the wreckers. Thanks for the replies
