I have a mechanical friend looking at my B7000. The steering wheel was just spinning around so he looked inside and told me someone had repaired it previously with the wrong sized ball bearings. These were too small and slipped out of the slots. He asked me to print out or find the correct sizes for the ball bearings in the steering. Is there a spec sheet or something or can someone help me with this? Much thanks in advance.

Thanks for posting the #'s Vic! I'm starting a part # collection for my B7000 until I can find a good parts book.

I had my steering column bearings replaced aprox 2 yrs ago.
I thought this would take out some of the play/slop but it has not.
If I am correct there is a right way and a wrong way to re install the steering wheel assembly!

A very good step-by-step steering box repair guide in the articles section.
