Leaky p/s box
My '87 Bronco has a leaky power steering box. It looks like it's coming from the main shaft coming out the bottom. Is there a seal I can get and Is it a task to change or should I look for another box?

For the price and the headache, take your old pump out, take it to the autoparts store and replace it. They will even change out the pulley for you.

It is the steering box, not pump. According to Auto-Zone I can buy the seal for $13 and change and replace w/o pulling or taking the box apart. john

Interested in your progress. On some vehicles it is just a matter of pulling the Pitman arm, removing a snap ring, starting, and rocking the steering wheel back and forth to blow out the seal. Would like to know what it takes on yours. Mine is starting to leak.

Sorry about that. I miss read. I also did a reseal job on the steering box. You will need to make sure that the staft goes back in the same way because the steering wheel will not cancel the turn signals properly. The reseal takes about 1-2 hours with complete removal of the box.
