<VV> Steering box insights ? Plus annotated GM Manuals

[Charles Lee]

Ah !  That's word I was trying to find !!!!  "spanner" wrench - I could not 
for the life of me dredge that word up!

... and if I still can't one, it's the BFC that was also suggested ...

A lot of work to make such a "fine tuning" adjustment !

Thanks again,
Charlie
