steering rebuild
i ordered a steering box rebuild kit and a new power steering pump(with resevoir). does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to do these? i know the pump is an internal setup but ive never really taken the time to really look at it. im assuming the box rebuild kit includes new seals and what not but im not sure what else. let me know about your experiences and any pointers would be greatly appreciated. hopefully rebuilding the box will stop my pump from blowing every 3 monthes

My service manual shows the process of rebuilding the gear, but it utilizes special tools that are used in the assembly and dis assembly. IMO, unless you have access to a shop full of the right tools, purchasing them might blow out the budget, vs just purchasing a new one...

I have to agree. I'm pretty handy when it comes to most things on a vehicle, but power steering boxes,and pumps, I won't bother with. I bought a new power steering box for my D350 for under $100 off E-bay. Been in there 3 years now with no problems.

I've been interested in the positive comments I've read on here about the Redhead steering gears, as far as the quality workmanship and internal modifications that have been done to his product. I think that's the way I'd probably go if I found I needed a replacement steering gear.
I know that's not the answer you were looking for, but thought I'd throw it in anyway.
