Replacing seal in power steering box?

Does anyone have an easy way to replace the top seal in a 71 or 72 F250 power steering box? I have a massive leak. I resealed the whole thing when I changed to power steering about 15 years ago but the box was out of the truck. Thanks, Alex

I've been trying to post some illustration on my gallery and can't figure it out. I have an illustration for your question and then I can describe the routine.

no easy way out

I just replaced the seals in my F100 and it has a small leak when I reinstalled it. I jerked it back out and will put "Gasket in a Tube" on it tomorrow. I would have save some timeiIf I had done that the first time. If it still leaks, then there just will be no power steering.
