[QUOTE=connerm;2097866]Sixto, How did you measure the gap? I was thinking that stack of feeler guages might work.
I used a Vernier caliper. See the attached image.

What repair CD do you have if not the FSM? Phil can get you the FSM on CD through the Buy Parts link above. It's a collection of such poor quality scans that you'll wonder if it's worth the CDs it comes on. It's in section 46-3265.

Anyone who's asked me to elaborate has regretted those words. daw_two is my latest victim
I removed the 4 bolts around the pitman arm shaft seal to get to leaky o-rings. The pitman arm shaft lower bearing carrier held by the bolts supports the weight of the pitman arm shaft. My guess as to why it sprung a new leak is the adjustment screw seal didn't like suspending the pitman arm shaft. This won't be a problem if you don't remove the lower bearing carrier.
And it's Loktite 270 (red stuff) that goes between the pitman arm and splines on reassembly.
