Giving up and buying someone else's work is the easy way out any body can do that, its like being brain dead if you know what I mean. Not trying to offend you its having that pride thing in what you can do.

I'm that way sometimes too I guess. Anyhow, I don't think anyone rebuilds their own steering gears anymore. I bought a redhead. Here's what they do below. Plus install that gear and see if it works, it might be good already.
Our re-manufacturing process:
Machining out the housings and installing needle bearings
Flame-spraying or replacing the shafts as needed Installing new control valves on some applications
Custom fitting each worm & piston assembly with special ordered, precise over-sized ball bearings.
Other things we do to produce a top quality product include:
Install every sector shaft on a lathe to check for straight and true
polish the sealing surface to a higher polish than new.
