Rebuilt my steering gear box

[bigd65]

Well guy's I was bored and decided to try and rebuild my old steering gear box. It worked better than the old junk yard one but leaked. Well let me tell you something, IT AINT EASY. If your gonna try, you need to be at least a little bit mechanically inclined. The kit I got from O'Riely's has every O ring and teflon seal that goes in there. Then re-installing the bearings are a trick, I didnt have the tool, but where there is a will there is a way. I got them back in and inside of the ball bearing retainer. I am waiting for a dry day to put it in my truck. I cant satand to work on a wet truck. Anyway, when I get it installed and try it out, I will letr yall know how it does.

BTW, Is there a special way to adjust the play in it. When it was in the truck before, it was great, NO PLAY at all and the truck didnt track down the road. The one that is in there now, I cant get the play out and it tracks down the road and doesnt straighten out automatically after going around a curve
