notice anything? I have no idea where it went because I didn't find anything extra in the Ross box. Admittedly, the jeep came to me like this. Just the next thing I have to do.

Crappy import part is my guess. The condition of the worm gear looks as if it chewed something up, but I doubt it could have completely ground the broken follower. Someone before you knew it was broken.
RFJP.com has sector shafts that are the best I have seen on the market in years outside of finding NOS, but I am not sure your worm gear is serviceable.

You can buy replacements for the pin

How do you remove the pin? It looks as though it's machine pressed into place. Next question is how do you install the new pin? Also, I didn't noticed that those pins are for sale.
I have them for my Ross box but haven’t sorted the removal out. I believe they are pressed in and then maybe a spot weld but not sure
Steiner tractor sells them. I measured mine and found the same ones. Been about 3 yrs ago but will look for what I ordered
@cwdtmmrs (Tim) has done it so maybe he can jump in here

How to remove old pins, according to the guys over at this tractor forum:

I'll be buying a new steering sector since I do not have the appropriate drill press to remove the pins.
Steering sector pin stud.460 utility
Has any of you guys or gals ever replaced one of these steering sector pin's on the power steering lever shaft of any of the IH utility's? If so any insight as to how to get the old one out. I cut the backside of the pin and ground off some of the lever shaft to knock out the old pin but it...

Just avoid omix stuff unless they have improved them I would ask what the supplier is. No idea if other than Omix out there. NOS is very hard to find.How to remove old pins, according to the guys over at this tractor forum:

here is a post by Jake @Jake Crowley from a couple of years ago that gives some more inf. No idea if helpful, but you can decide
Replacing sector shaft in steering box
Be sure to measure the old shaft so you can order the correct size/diameter.
I bought a new sector shaft several years ago for the CJ5 and it did not match up well to the worm. For sure look for a NOS.....it might take a little time, but worth it.

Do your old worm or sector shafts have a part number? This came out of the CJ5 also.

This is my old sector shaft. It looks good to me, I'm not sure why I did not re-use it. I think I replaced it before I rebuilt the front end, hoping for a quick repair...I ought to put it back in, just for fun....
Or sell it

Guys, is there a list of suppliers in these forums? In your opinion who would you feel comfortable with in ordering parts that you knew would be quality and last?
I think they tend to sell the same parts when it comes to steering. Either Omix or Crown and unless you ask they don’t usually tell you
Some give a discount if you are an all-star. May be worth it plus you don’t get ads
I trust John Bizal. Most of his stuff is military and some of it will cross over to the CJ.

Mullins used to sell direct but now uses ebay. I buy from him also, notably OEM throw-out bearings....
Debella has good stuff, or he will tell you if it's from "off shore"

I've had good service from Peter. Be aware there are two sizes of Ross boxes used in the CJ's: the 4 cylinder civilian version, and the military/V6 version. You probably have the former but measure it before you order any replacement parts.

Right on guys. Thanks for the good resources. I will be looking into these sellers this evening. Are there any other parts in particular I should be looking to replace before I start my drive to Florida in December of this year?

The warning with the Omix steering sector has really freaked out my wife. She's looking for extra insurance on me and the jeep now!
