You can get them at most auto parts stores, including RockAuto. Lares is the rebuilder, part number 1030

Bought one years ago from them, no problems with it.

Easy to do yourself. Having done it I can't see many parts needing replacing. Mainly cleaning, a couple seals and reassembly and adjustment - all per the FSM. Seals are over-the-counter stuff at bearing supply shops. The bearings themselves should not need replacing.

If you'd like to keep yours try Steer and Gear.

I concure and the full rebuild kit is so cheap from Firm Feel you may as well have everything ready and on hand. I show the complete re and re in my '69 Bee Restoration thread... it's early in so on the dodgecharger site... Now Complete Restoration / Pulling my 1969 'Bee down for strip and paint - Page 11

I've rebuilt a couple. Be advised that there is a special tool to remove the sector shaft without dumping all the ball bearings. Been there, done that. The refill is Deere Cornhead grease.

?? Didn't have/use any special tool and didn't dump any bearings !!

This is what I bought. Pushed the shaft out and keeps the bearings in place. Factory tool.

Well I don't own that tool but I probably would use my imagination before buying a tool I'd only use once or twice! Anyhow, don't remember 'cause it was a long time ago.

The firm feel kit and a fsm should get you going.
