Anyone rebuild the power steering gear box?
Found on web a oring kit for less than $10. or a complete gear box for less than $200. Mine is leaking real bad. Is it hard to rebuild it or just better to change it?

Re: Anyone rebuild the power steering gear box?
If you know what you are doing with the gearbox apart it's worth it. 4wheel and off road magazine just did a good article on rebuilding a saginaw p/s box. Lots of pics and descriptions. It should be on thier website in the tech section.

Yep, it was a pain in the butt. but then again, I was taking over from a friend who had it taken apart, and couldn't put it back together again.

Re: Anyone rebuild the power steering gear box?
i've done it once on a gearbox in a 78 k5 blazer. other than putting the ball bearings back in it was midrange difficulty on my scale. hardest part for me was getting it apart as all the nuts and bolts were stuck and greasy from leaking powersteering fluid.
