I made a clamp for installing the steering coupler seal retainer. Makes it super easy to center the retainer and hold it place while you fold over the tabs. It also slightly compresses the seal so the retainer stays snug. Tapping with the edge of a small drift and a light hammer you can set the tabs around the raised nubs on the coupler tightly in
place. I’ve never had one come lose.
Scrap 2x3 lumber, two 7” carriage bolts and I centered and glued in a dowel with a piece of fuel line over it to fit in the splined hole going to the steering box just to help hold it and center it all up while installing it on the coupler.
I measure the two sides while I tighten it to keep it even.
