It was very interesting, cleaning it was the hardest part. Seals are super easy to do. When you reassemble you have to drop in the shaft that the pitman arm connects to perfectly, and clock it right with the worm gear center. Then you cannot spin it until you put the pitman arm on and get it clocked right. Easier than it sounds. And I just used 80-90w gear oil, hasn't leaked a drop. I'm 17 and i did it on my first try, Good Luck!
