Radiator swap on H

My old radiator was leaking like a sieve. Luckily, a friend happened to have a spare. I got the sheet metal off, the louvers disconnected and the hoses are free. Now what do I do with the steering?

It's al there in the owner's manausl got one? If not get one.
Meanwhile remove the upper bolster cap. Disconnect the steering shaft. Turn the shaft and back it out. If you have the 360 degree sector gear flip it over while you are there,
Cut off the two cotter keys on the castellated nuts at the bottom of the radiator and remove those nuts. If the studs come with them don't worry, save the studs for reinstall. Watch the order of the springs and parts coming off the studs.

You do not need to remove the cap with four bolts on top of the front end casting. If you unscrew the large pipe cap on the front of the steering gear box and remove the bolt in the u joint you can turn the worm gear shaft right out the front of the gearbox. You will also have to remove the half moon key at the U joint end once you have turned the shaft far enough forward to be able to get at it.
