ggzilla Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 "Worm bearing" is not a single part, it is a race and a zillion ball bearings, and requires special expertise to replace. If you steering gear needs one, it is probably worn out. Much better to swap in a different steering gear that works OK, than try to fix yours. Or you could send the gear box to a specialty rebuilder. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Stef, did you just put new ball bearings in it? The factory service manual makes it sound very difficult. If we can rebuild them ourselves, that's a big plus. Quote Link to comment
Stef Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yes i just needed to replace the bearings, its not hard its 1970s technology Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yes i just needed to replace the bearings, its not hard its 1970s technology If it's the bearings that support the worm gear 48025-71200. About $30 each at dealer) you need two. Try cross referencing for another make. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Oh i get it now. Yare talking about the regular worm shaft bearings, not the individual ball bearings. I was thinking about the worm and roller ball bearing thingies. Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 lolz I was thinking recirculating balls too, should have realized when the price was so low :frantics: Quote Link to comment
docbainey Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Just take the bearings to an industrial bearing distb., they'll match them up. Most of the ball bearings in the early cars are off the shelf items in industry. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 My ball nuts dropped once. Made the mistake of taking my 620 box apart. When I turned the wheel, the worm unscrewed forward and popped the plug out of the front. Lost all the oil, and shit fell out. Quote Link to comment
