Power steering input shaft seal replacement?

[iwlbcnu]

Tried searching and couldn't find anything. Factory power steering box, can the input (steering shaft side) seal be replaced in the truck? Anyone have a part number?
Lower was leaking, replaced it, and of course the upper starts now.

Yes, if you have a little room to maneuver around it. Do not remove the locknut and adjuster plug. You will have the input shaft sticking out of the adjuster plug unlike these pics. Take the retaining ring off and you will find a dust seal. Pull that out and you will see the oil seal. You might have to drive a screw into the old oil seal to get a grip on it.

Oil seal is marked IPC 7817133. Dust seal is marked IPC 261 and 5688229. You can probably buy the input seals separately or get the full seal kit from o-reilly under part #7858.

WOW, talk about good info, THANKS!!!!!!!! That will save me alot of head scratching. It has been sitting as I have no time to look at it, now it looks like a rather simple job I may squeeze in.
Thanks again Viperwolf1

Well, finally replaced the seal and once cleaned up realized that the box is leaking from the end seals too. So how hard is it to replace all the seals? The kit looks complete with the bearing so I take it pretty involved.
