nah everything was fine untill I messed with it, but its fixed now, I explained in the thread I startedIf the PO was pounding on the Pitman nut, perhaps that might explain your weird steering (chip caught in the sector teeth).
I keep a 1 5/16 3/4 inch socket and ratchet around for this. Along with 4 feet of cheater pipe. A 1/2 inch drive ratchet will do it, but the sockets don't seem to go bigger than 1 1/4. Maybe an axle nut socket might, I suppose; it's a bit under 34mm.
