Re: 7802644 steering box rebuild kit

Depends on who you ask I guess. I have done a lot of research on the rebuild and I am plenty confident enough to rebuild it myself. Some have only replaced partial seals and what not on the box and find it still leaks. From what I can see, this is caused by other seals that have failed within the box that are still causing or contributing to the leak. I took mine completely out and can see many of the O-rings and Teflon seals are brittle and hard.

I have rebuilt a transmission on my own with success and this is fairly straight forward when compared to that. Also, the worst part of the rebuild thus far, and probably will remain, is removing box from the truck.
