replace seals in steering box, how hard?

I put in a new power steering pump in my '68 and now my gear box leaks power steering fluid like crazy. I can buy a reman box for $150 or a kit with seals for $41. How difficult is it to replace the whole box or should i just replace the seals. If i just replace the seals how hard is that? I've searched the internet looking for some guides or pics but found none. I think i have a Bendix since i have 4 bolts on top.

what did you end up doing? I think I am running into the same issue and curious what you found was the best option and difficulty level or any tips?

Not sure about the Bendix but I resealed my Ford box without removing it from the truck.

I pulled the box and went looking for seals. Didn't find a single seal that would fit. So i threw it bac together and still drive it manual.
