    1990 RCC steering box leak

    I bought a project Rangey and it's leaking from the input shaft seal.

    Is this a hard job to do or is it easier an cheaper to replace the entire unit?

    Many thanks as always!

    Apart from difficult access, it's a fairly straightforward job.
    You might find it easier with the box out & on the bench if you don't like working in tight spots though.

    I'm pretty handy with the spanners so if it's a do-able job I'll give it a crack.

    What's the worst that could happen?

    "What's the worst that could happen? "

    It leaks again just like mine.
    Phillip A has done his and did up a good report from memory
    Its a pig of a job while in sityu as the seal has to be pushed in the right spots to go in properly. Or you could hire a contortionist
    I would take it out as its probably quicker in the long run.
    After mine started leaking again after 10000ks I put in a new box.
