Resealed steering box
I have been plagued by a leaking steering box since I bought my pickup. Finally ordered parts from Napa 27 bucks. I bought a seal kit for the input shaft and Pittman arm shaft seals. About three hours total I had them changed. The little repair shop down the road from me told me to put the box back in with the Pittman arm off and the retainer ring out and start the truck and turn the wheel to lock and blow the Pittman arm seal out. It works great . I wish I would have taken pics but didn't to lazy I guess. But so far no leaks. The hardest part was getting my steering wheel center again. If anyone wants I will post the pics of the boxes and part numbers. A easy fix inexpensive and may delay having to buy a remanufactured box.
