Re: Steering box leak

If the Pitman arm is off the steering box shaft, won't that allow you to remove the cross shaft and pull the output shaft? Don's car may be different but I removed my whole steering box and had it rebuilt and replaced it without taking the Pitman arm off the drag link. Also Don, is there any play in your steeing? I'm thinking if all or most of the lube leaked out and the gearbox has been 'cranked dry' there may be considerable wear on the internal bearings. If you are going to the trouble of replacing the seal, maybe a good time to have the unit rebuilt?? Chris.
