Re: Steering box rebuild
You can make one. If you have a set of fishing scales just attach them one inch out from the centre of what you are turning and that will give you inch pounds of force. I tied a bit of wire one inch out along a socket handle and then attached the scales to the wire to set the preload for my diff.

It's not the fancy dial one that stangerssite recommends, but it does the job.
