1977 F150 rag joint removal advice required
Hi ,
I'm trying to replace the failed rag joint on my 77 f150.
I've removed the brake booster as this needs replacing and affords me better access to the joint.
I'm based in North Wales UK and could only readily acquire a repair kit for the joint.
I've loosened the joint from the steering box but can't fathom out how to remove the joint from the steering shaft .
any advice or help would be much appreciated.
As you can see from the attached picture the joint has failed in epic style ( I have removed two of the bolts and tabs but there were big gaps in between the disc which looks as though it was made of a hard plastic and definitely not rubber)
many thanks
Brent
