(sorry if this has been asked a thousand times i am a new member)

I have a power steering leak and was wondering if any one has part #s for new seals. I have tried the lucas power steering stuff 3 times and it slowed the leak but it still is leaking and i would like it fixed. One more thing how hard is it to replace the seals?

thanks, joe

I asked the same thing about a week ago with some good replys. The best reply though was just add 15w40 to it instead of PS fluid. So far so good. And mine was pooring fluid out before too, now its maybe a drop or two a day.

thanks for the info on the 15w40 pwrtripls1, but my leek is very slow because i put in that lucas power steering stuff in their and it is like honey. So i want to fix it permanetly and more advise would be helpfull.

thanks, joe

What seals are leaking? The input shaft to the steering box is often the case, it is a fairly simple fix. Details should be available via a search.

the steering box is leaking were the cupler conects to it. and thanks for the help.

Thats where mine leaks too. I'll call the parts store for the both of us in the morning and see if i can get just that seal.

There is a seal "kit" available. I remember it containing a seal and a snap ring and possibly other small parts. Hardest part is getting the old seal out. Some have had good luck by screwing a drywall screw into the seal for a handle to pry it out. Try to find a way to support the steering box shaft when you drive out the roll pin, so you dont bend the shaft.

thanks for looking for the part #s i will try to and will let you know pwrtripls1.
thanks for the tip on the dry wall screw and to support it.

I went out to the shop and got my kit that hasn't installed itself on my truck. I got it at a local parts store, Powercraft brand, part number 8525. It contains a seal, a dust seal, a snap ring and a large O-ring (I'm not sure what the O-ring fits). Hope this helps and you can cross reference this number.

we make some good money i get 16/Hto drive an excavator thats not too bad but the downside is we pay 5000 for trucks here not 500 j/k

the reason for the truck being 400.00 is because the guy thought the inj. pump was bad. it was the fuel fillter the guy had bought it resantly and new nothing about diesels. that is why it was 400.00 good deal huh.
