Default steering stop adjustment

I got an o8 t-2000 it does not turn left for SHAT ...I'm going to adjust the stops so it turns like a T-2000 ...I don't have the truck here ,but I was just wondering what if any size breaker bar i should bring to turn the bolt ...or is it relatively easy to turn with just an 18 inch handled wrench ?

I dont remember the size of the bolt, but I do remember that an ordinary breaker-bar worked for me. If they haven't done any serious changes, it's a bolt with a "LOCK-NUT". Loosen the lock-nut, screw in the bolt, and don't forget to re-tighten the lock-nut. Then, when you check your limits, make sure that it's still hitting the bolt. It is possible to screw it in far enough that you hit the limits of the steering gearbox before you hit the head of the bolt. Running the gearbox beyond the limits can cause some pretty expensive damage.
