Steering Relay
So far I've chosen no to remove the steering relay from the chassis. They can be a real problem to remove (although it was pretty easy on my 109) and given that as far as I know it works OK, and given some other issues I've had disassembling a 55 yar old truck, I'm going to leave it. But I have been replenishing the oil in it. The procedure is to remove one of the bolts (I removed 2) and using a syringe fill with oil slowly add oil in those bolt holes. the relay has plates inside and it take a long time for the oil to seep in (a week or more of slowing adding oil). But part of working on any old Land Rover should be to periodically add oil in the relay.
Well that whole thing went to hell in a handbasket quickly. The relay was a major job; right up there with chassis bushings. I finally got the relay out with the chassis turned upside down and a 20 ton press straddling the frame.
