[QUOTE="Happystamps, post: 521478, member: 14679"] I'm assuming that people are still interested in this. Taken from my build thread: "Well now.... What's this? A steering worm with lovely removable bearings? Why I never. Apparently this feels like it's both case hardened and induction hardened, so it's a bit of a bitch. Do-able though, apparently. I'm really happy with it, it rolls really freely. the bearings stick out a tiny bit too, so if I ever need to, I can heat them up with a blowtorch and tap them off to replace. Brilliant. Next job is to bring the case in and get that bored out to 42mm (tolerances done on a case-by case basis! I want a tap fit on this, which has a code (h4,h5 etc) but I can't remember it.
