Last year we had a failure of the universal joint below the dee shown here. The year we started to get some strange clunking noises when both hand steering and with the auto pilot. Today I found that the nut shown in the photo was a little loss. I tightened it and the noise seems to have gone and the steering is smoother. You need a 24mm and a 20mm spanner for this job on a 45DS.
