[T3] Steering box adjusted


<x-charset Windows-1252>I adjusted my '67 Squareback's steering box tonight, the free play was 1.5"
(~38 mm)

When I tried to pull out the fill plug to top up the steering box, the plug
disintegrated and a piece fell down inside the steering box.  I removed the
4 bolts on the top of the box and examined the cover and my shop manual but
could not figure out how to remove the top cover.  I figure a little piece
of plug in there might not really hurt anything but how do you remove the
top cover?

I put the 4 cover mounting bolts back, adjusted the box per the shop manual,
and topped it up with 90 wt. transmission fluid.  The free play was reduced
to 3/4" (~19 mm).
