Steering box leak
I'm not real familiar with the innards of one of these boxes. I assume there is some kind of seal around the shaft that connect's the box to the column. Anybody ever replace one? I read some old search results and it sounds like there maybe a seal kit, but not finding much except swapping in a whole new box. It's leaking right below the rag joint.

Re: Steering box leak
Blow it up... From what i hear even if you change out the seals they will leak again cause the shaft will be grooved

Re: Steering box leak
Speedi-Sleeves will cover grooved seal surfaces so they seal properly again. I've used them on grooved driveshaft yokes and one of my machine tool reduction gearbox shafts.
I installed em with Loctite 640 Sleeve Retainer. http://www.etrailer.com/Tools/Loctit...FQff4Aodq3QAlQ
