Steering box bearing

[dmjlambert]

When I did the Tx Firefighter procedure on mine, I believe I didn't have or prepare a bent tip screwdriver like he mentions to pull the seal out, so from the top side of the box I used a long skinny screwdriver and tapped on the end of it to drive the seals out. I don't remember how hard I had to hit it, but I don't remember being alarmed. My tendency would have been to move the tip around the seal as I go so the seal doesn't get cocked at some weird angle, but sorry I don't remember to a great amount of detail. Silly question but gotta ask since you're having trouble, you did remove the retainer clip, right? Your bearing is probably OK, that thing doesn't spin at some number of RPMs.
