Ray,It may be possible to replace the seals on the bottom[sector shaft]while its in the truck but it would be difficult.You are going to have to get the front of the truck raised pretty high because you have to pry the old seals out and hammer the new ones in.Also you will have to remove the sector shaft out of the box in order to access the seals.I just got done rebuilding my entire box and I think it would be easier to just remove it.Just center the steering box,loosen the 4 bolts and it should slide out.You will also have to replace the top seal on the sector shaft cover.Heres a video that help me do it. http://www.mypowerblock.com/video/mu...steering-box-1

My PS box is leaking on my 87. I bought a rebuilt box, and took it to a shop. They will install it far $110.00.
