Steering Box Rebuild

[robinsoncc]

Has any of you ever rebuilt the your steering box? I pulled it out and I am ready to take it a part. I was wondering if anyone had any text about the steering box. I don't want to send it in because I would rather get the exp. of knowing how to rebuild one. Any help would be great. It a 75 power steering box.

I did mine this summer, I think I spent more time looking up how to do it then actually doing it, I searched here and on Pirate and came up with enough info to feel confident doing it. I tapped mine for hydro assist in the future as well, added very little work and when I add it in the future I don't have to pull the box apart again.

I've done one, they are pretty self explanitory. I'd say just go for it. If you need any help just ask.

I took it apart looks pretty easy just have to order the right rebuild kit now. Who has the most reliable rebuild kit?

There's really nothing to 'rebuild' really mostly a seal kit. I picked up one from NAPA.

How about rebuilding one with slack in it? Anyone ever had success in getting it tightened up?

When I rebuilt mine I found the pin that holds the torsion bar to the input shaft was worn and loose. I replaced it and that took all the slop out.

Where is the best place to get a rebuild kit?
