Dave;

Short answer is: There is none!

Explanation: "Adjustment" is by no means as simple as wanging the screw on top of the St Box down (and doing that will cause accelerated wear and is about the worst thing that can be done!)...the force required to turn the shafts must be carefully measured during the adjustment process...and this must be done without Steering Wheel, but more importantly, without Suspension connections adding their forces...I suppose one could disco the Pitman Arm to create a "nearly"
out-of-the-car situation...

Question: Which "cover" did you remove thinking you could fix a leak? St Boxes typically leak from the lower seal, and replacing this is definitely only possible with a Box removal a complete disassembly on the bench. I don't wish to rain on anyone's parade, but changing the top cover gasket is unlikely to prevent the loss of oil and mess associated with it...

Cheers
