Re: my little G

steering box

needed some strong languish to get the link arm off

cleaned up the connectors

hoping to morrow morning the local Merc dealer will have the grease whipes for the king pin balls

so i can go ahead with changing the wheel bearings and king pin bearings

i don't want to take this off two times
