anyone help me sort my steering, i had some free play when the wheel was turned 1 3rd of the lock and i read somewhere on hear to get the play out you just adjust the torx bolt on top of steering box with engine runing, anyway now ive dun that, the steering is really stiff in the dead ahead position and when i tryed to turn the torx bolt back to where it was it doesnt want to go. anybody got a clue what i can do?

doesnt the bolt have a locking nut? it looks like it does even though ive never done a miggy, the last steering box i adjusted was on a ford 100E prefect!!!

When I adjusted my steering box I did not have a torx bolt. Are you sure you adjusted the right one. It should be on the top surface and does have a lock nut around it.
