Rebuilding my steering box on my 1949 3600. Went to replace the lower worm shaft roller bearing, but cant figure ouy how to get it off. The books dont mention the piece that is holding the bearing on. Bearing looks ok, but i have a replacement i was going to put on if i am able.

SteveJ,
Not sure if you're done yet, but I documented my steering box rebuild in video form. Here's a link to the post I made with all the videos:
