Anybody replace the input seal in their steering box? The input end of mine is dripping pretty good,curious whats involved?
 
I've rebuilt several box's but never tried to just replace seals alone. Rebuilding the box is easy so you should be able to replace those seals easy enough without taking the box completely apart.
 
Its not to terrible to do , there is an exploded view in the box ( its in damn French though LOL ) with the seal kit , and the kit itself is pretty cheap . Its mostly looking at it , and seeing what to do , getting the seal out , and tapping the new one in .

Your goona unscrew the end piece , remove a snap ring , remove a washer type chingas , and then tap the seal cockeyed and yank it . Then find a socket or pipe that fits the seal but slides over the input shaft and tap it in :D
