I have an M38 and bought a new sector shaft. When I installed and torqued the original Pittmann arm, it only engaged 1/2 of the indexing grooves leaving no room for a lock washer with adequate nut threads. Any suggestions?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
They have to go on very tight. Please give us a call toll free to help out.

What do you recommend for end play on a new sector shaft with a new worm on an M38?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
I dont think the book really gives a spec on that. Your sector shaft and bushings should be tight in there with little to no slop.

I received my steering sector kit for my gear box the long bushing has no hole for oil passage do I need to drill it.

upon disassembly I noticed, underneath the lower bearing there is a "cap" on the bottom of the steering box with a hole in the center from my understanding that is for the horn wires. inside the shaft the horn rod is still there. im not concerned with running a horn however is there a seal that will keep the oil from leaking out of that bottom cover hole? how do I remove this "cap" and do you have a replacement? originally it had grease in it so leaking was not an issue, however upon rebuild id like to run oil.
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
You need to use a freeze plug on. Or we can get you a good used one.
