Thread: Repairing a Leaking Steering Box

As I posted else where. I did the lower seal on a three bolt power steering box in situ. Not as good set up as the four bolt. No back up seal, just the main one and no dust seal. I had one issue where the eye of the circlip broke of. New seal was a cup seal as well but a slightly different profile so sealed on a fresh bit of shaft. Used the old seal as a dust seal between the pitman arm and the circlip. May have had a dust seal originally as there was room enough for the old seal.

I broke one of the pitman arm pullers pictured trying to get mine off.

Heat and a heavy hammer were needed, off car of course.

Has anyone done an input shaft seal? as mine is cactus.

Thanks for the tutorial exactly what i was looking for,cheers.

Ahhhh! This is the thread I couldn't find before asking over on the Perentie forum.

Any chance of the pictures still being locatable Dean?

Ive got a leak from the top of my Gemmer box (now handily identified thanks to some acrobatic phone usage).

Hi David, I've been trying to do just that since scumbucket decided to screw over their 'customers', I can't even access my own scumbucket files anymore but I've located a backup on my old server which might get me there. It's just a matter of carefully working an ancient WinXP machine and finding which picture matches which spot in the original thread.

I had one of those supecheap pitman arm pullers and it broke, then I went and hired a proper one, and it did the job, both pullers looked the same physically but the quality of the tool was definitely different.

Does anyone know how I can get access to the photos in this article. It seems like a good description and something I’m going to have to do in the next few weeks. Can’t seem to get the photos so show though. All I get is a place holder image asking me to upgrade my account.
