Steering Box now apart....Hmmmm
I have a leaky steering box, the input shaft seal, not the pittman arm seal. I thought I'd just replace the input seal and go from there.
I like having pics but after many searches, I couldn't find anything that was very helpful so I used Tx Firefighter's post on fixing a leaky box, but without the pics.
From reading the posts, it appears that if the shaft is pulled out of the housing, or turned - - - there will be trouble.
I have lifted AND turned the shaft, I just couldn't help myself I guess.
I was having a hard time removing the gland assembly, it would not slide up off the shaft. I fiddled with it too much I suppose, but did get it to finally slide off. I don't have any snap ring pliers, so progress has now stopped for a bit.
So since I lifted, turned and fiddled with the shaft, how hosed am I?
