I've got a general idea what to do but I'm looking at the lock nut on the bottom of the steering box and realise that I need a new tool to turn that thing....I think. What do I need. Thanks.
I'll round off that bolt head....just as soon as I'm done strippin' this screw!

Its kinda flat like a big threaded washer with flatsides but notches in the corners.

There's a great how-to about steering adjustment in the tech tips section.
