Power Steering GearBox Leak Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The Power Steering box on my 72' Chevy pickup leaks like no tomorrow...literally, top off the fluid and 15mins later its all on the floor! We've tracked it down to being most likely the gasket between the top (where the steering shaft enters) and the rest of the casing. I know a new gearbox is going to run about $170, is there a way to pull part of it off and replace te gasket? I have been told not to take the box apart, becasue supposedly you'll never get it all back together. I'd really appreciate any help on this matter!

Thanks,
Kenny
