Mine too.  Even more so with certain older German steering boxes.  The
ball bearings just wouldn't go back after a rebuild,  you had to kind of
look away while tapping and shaking and they'd magically fall in the worm
gear by themselves.  If someone asked "how'd you do that", I'd tell them
the truth...I don't have a clue, but they're in there.

I live on a one-way street that's also a dead end. I'm not sure how I got
there.
