To adjust worm & roller steering gear, loosen the locknut, then finger-tight the screw.




1. Turn wheels straight ahead. It is important to adjust the lash when the gearbox is centered. Otherwise it will be too tight in one direction
2. Loosen locknut (14mm), turn counter-clockwise as usual
3. Tighten adjusting screw with a flat-bladed screwdriver, just finger tight. Do not apply any real torque
4. Tighten locknut, while holding screwdriver from turning. You don't want the lock nut to turn the adjuster

If you tighten it too much, the steering will get heavy at the center point and will accelerate wear of the box
