My 1896 LHD 90 just went through French MOT equivilent, and they flagged up wear on the steering drop arm.

Is there any way to identify if it is a 3,4 or 6 bolt PAS box without getting underneath it? I'd rather order the right part straight off, and given the ice and snow outside, I'm try to do all the work in as few days as possible...

PS power washing the engine bay an hour before inspection cured the 'excessive fluid leak'.... modern rules aren't written for older cars!

you look at the top cap it either has 3, 4 or 6 bolts, if arm is tight on the box spline you probably just need this rgb000010
 
If you look up drop arm removal on this forum you will see many posts about this job because it can be a tough one because the arm is on a taper.
Changing the joint can be a bit of "Grr" job but there is a cheap bit of kit that can help with this one.
 
At that price, if the bugger won't move, I'll take it to the local 4x4 specialist who'll be able to do it in no time...
