To adjust the steering box on the 107 you will need two 3/8 extension bars 15 to 18 inches long, a 19mm crowfoot socket, an articulate 3/8 socket and a 6mm ex allen key, remove the two sparkplug ignition leads from the sparkplugs on the two cylinders nearest to the brake servo (just above the steering box) to insert the two bars between the exhaust manifold and cylinder head. Place the crowfoot socket on the nut with the bar connection to your left as you look down the nut, insert the allen key into the head of the adjusting bolt and loosen the nut ½ turn, adjust the bolt by turning the bolt to the left (anticlockwise) but only by a ¼ of a turn and tighten the nut. Test the steering ply with engine running and repeat the process until you obtain about ½ inch play on the outer rim of the steering wheel. If the adjusting bolt on the steering box already protrudes over 15mm above the nut no further adjustment is possible.
