Sorry for being childish...
But is there a potential problem here with these steering boxes if this comes too loose?
The steering nut will eventually go loose as there are some ball bearings (unknown quantity at the moment) at the opposite end of the unit from the two nuts on the front.
To tighten these nuts you are meant to use a special tool that allows you to hold the smaller nut (clearly visible in the picture above) whilst tightening the lock nut (a larger ring not that clearly in view) to 200 - 220 Nm. So there is a sort of hollow big socket that has space for a drive to hold the inner nut on the cap.
