[T3] adjusting the steering worm spindle


Hello all,

It feels like there is a sponge in my steering linkage. It has always [in my ownership 
of ~7 years] been slop happy, and I am now going to fix it. Ball joints & tie rods have 
been replaced very low miles ago, and the steering damper has been looked at recently.

I just made sure that the steering gear cover wasn't loose and fidgeted with the roller 
shaft adjustment. With the wheels in the air I can tell that it has wound up too tight 
[I'm backing it off to where it was/fine]. So the next step seems to be see if I can 
bring the worm into adjustment. I freed the locknut, but need to cobble together some 
sort of special wrench as seen in the Bentley. 

What size bolt head will work?

Enjoy,
Curtis
