Maybe some of this on the shims would do the trick (http://gasgacinch.com/home/products/)   I dunno, but its worth a try on your next knuckle service.

Debella sells plenty is NOS parts. His worm shaft could be NOS. make sure you call him and ask.  If it's NOS, I would buy it. Nothing like an NOS part.

I'm afraid to start yet another steering box / knuckle pudding argument, but have you guys considered John Deere Corn Head Grease (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=corn%20head%20grease&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CCYQtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DUEwk_sYP6A8&ei=B1k1UM2CCaXc0QGC5IDABQ&usg=AFQjCNFT7C3dE4tuxRM1HcsyZEBnCUZHTw)?

I don't know if we can liven up the board, or not. �I'm sure many of you have your hands full with your Willys as summer approaches. �Maybe your Willys is just sitting comfortably waiting for its chance to fly. �

Aside from Carl and his frustrating discovery, perhaps we can all post what we are doing, or have recently done with our Willys. �Maybe with a few photos. �

Just touch base. �Oil change? Painting a part? �Trail ride? �Bought a new pan to catch leaks? �:-? �Carb adjustment? �Anything.

Anything that involves you and your Willys.

I'll start: �Check out the "Gatherings" page. �A few of us went to the Golden Super Cruise last weekend. �(Pictures) �I discovered my Willys leaks through the front of the transmission. �I am trying to decide whether to tear it open or wait till winter.

I know all about Rick Stivers' rebuild guide. But I had noticed that he also made a video. I tried contacting him for a copy of the video and was informed that he passed away. I would love to have the video.  Sorry for the thread hijack.  My bad.

What was the solution?

Hey Uncle_Vin, It's been a long time. �It's good to hear from you again. �

Your question makes me wonder if you're in the middle of a transmission as well? �What's going on in your Jeep World? �An update would be great.

Hey Calvin. I've been around. I lurk here at least two times per week. I still have more jeeps than I should.  (63' CJ-5; 62' P/U; and three 3As (including the umolested one that I scored off eBay a few years ago)). I figured that I should stop contemplating and just pull the trigger on a restoration.  My Cj-5 is my lone driver.  I think I'll start off with it. The tranny jumps out of gear in second (common problem) and the floors are wasted, so I have to take the tub off anyhow.  Thanks for giving me a shout out. I love to read your posts.
