How do you tighten up the steering box on an RRC?

I had a look in the Haynes manual but it only describes removal and refitting, not tightening it up - anyone let me know what to do?

Cheers!

Basically same as P38 large nut on top of steering box with an Allen socket adjuster. Only thing you can adjust without stripping and shimming is drop arm shaft end float.

Just to add to the Wammer above, the box needs to be adjusted with both front wheels off the floor....do some adjustment while a kind assistant rocks the steering wheel side to side.....then lock off, turn Steering wheel full lock to lock and check for tight spots, any tight spots will cause the steering to not self centre during driving....

I am sure the corect procedure is in RAVE....if you don't have the RAVE manuals, do a search on here and download them...defo worth it.
