Having no corrosion is a huge benefit, usually everything is corroded and requires a lot of effort to remove, then replacement before re-installing. I replaced my leaking ZF steering pump and Adwest Steering box together with new pipework etc and don’t want to have to do that again. Not the worst job but certainly more complex and difficult than it looks. Mine was RHD so probably was easier than LHD too.
I'm sorry, I've watched a couple of your posts. I had to look away half way through this one. Trying to force the wrong nut on to the steering box shaft should have been the last straw for me but using a claw hammer when working on a vehicle was too much. Put the tools down & walk away. Pay someone who knows what they are doing to prepare & get your Land Rover MOT tested.

I often cut an old nut with a hacksaw then screw it on to clean the thread before putting a new one on 🇬🇧

Getting there to minimum MOT standard, I know you will do further improvements when you have time in the future. Looks like a keeper!
if 16mm is rounding the nut try 5/8" - (15.875 mm)
The non gen arms keep working loose on splines until thay done about 3000 miles keep retorq it
