Ross Steering Box Socket
 
3 Attachment(s)
I don’t know what you guys use on the nut on the bottom of the Ross Steering box, but I have found it difficult, because even my widest screwdriver is not wide enough to turn it without messing up the slot. I took an old socket to my welder buddy and had him weld a plate onto it, so now I have a socket to use on my ratchet wrench. I hope that someone else can use this idea to simplify their process!! (Wasn't sure which area to put this in)

I use a drag link socket. :beerchug:

Scrap of flat bar stock and a vice grip, or a flat washer ground off on one edge.
I have never ran across one that didn't turn out easily though.
mostly use the tool to seat the bearings for initial adjustment.

Good homemade tools are a lifesaver. As mentioned above, a drag link socket is the tool you would need to buy if you couldn't make something. Here's what they look like ---
