Steering box play?

[sg8380]

i have a 1991 toyota hilux, no power steering and its 2wd, the wof failed because the steering box needs adjusting because it is way to tight, i loosend it off a bit and there is heaps of play in it which is why the last owner probably did it up so tight, any idea how to fix this?

If you can't adjust it to a point where there is no play but still free then second hand box or repair the one you got.
