Back to the Basics: Re-Sealing a leaky power steering box

[Billy81]

I think he meant how do you make sure your steering box is centered before you take the pitman shaft out.

I wish i would of went this route because i purchased a rebuilt steering box for my truck a few months back and it was a complete waste of money. Now instead of having a truck with a leaky box i have a truck that doesn't want to return to center and tends to stay stuck in the direction your turning. I tried to get it replaced but i guess i scratched off the green paint marking they put on the box when i installed it so they wont take it back now.

Thanks Billy81, that what I meant but I guess I didn't explain it clear enough. I have the whole steering system out now including the steering box, can the steering box be centered now before the pitman shaft comes out or do I have to wait until the system is back together before it can be centered correctly.
