63. If the lash is more at right, turn eccentric rivet (M) in
clockwise direction. (See Figure 1605.)
After these positions have been equalized, adjust for proper
mesh of shaft teeth in worm as described under paragraphs 91 to

gear mesh is adjusted too tight or the sector shaft is bound in the
bearing or by the end play adjusting screw.
66. Fill housing to level of filler plug with S.A.E. 160 E.P.
gear oil for summer or S.A.E. 90 E.P. for winter.
