Here's an old thread about it that is packed full of info including the right kind of grease to refill it with.

Not a ton of parts in there.

Dealer had to do mine. Only part of the lift I didn't do. Well worth paying them.

Vintage Truck magazine had a really good article about rebuilding the steering box a couple years ago. They sell back issues. They have good tech articles at times.
