I watched JimB's steering videos both parts 1 and 2 this past week. In part 1 he was calling the output shaft the input shaft and he corrected himself a couple of times. He talked about making the pitman arm parallel with the cover mounting surface when I believe he was wanting to reference the flat spot on the input shaft.

In part 2 he came back and tried to clarify the position of the input shaft with the cover mounting surface. Except this time he stated it was the intermediate shaft's pinch bolt groove that you line up to the cover mounting surface. This is not correct, it is the flat milled surface on the input shaft that is to be parallel to the cover mounting surface as shown on page 9-39 of the manual. It would be really nice if the pinch bolt was the reference point, then you could see at a glance, but the pinch bolt is at some random angle that does not match to anything when on high-point.

I hope he clarifies this before people get this messed up... Or if I am wrong, please advise me and I'll delete this post.
