Steering box rebuild kit?

My steering box is sloppy and leaking. Does anyone make a rebuild kit? I know everyone says to go with a faster box but I don't have the cash for a replacement right now. I can only afford to rebuild.

Anyone know a link to a place that sells a rebuild kit for the factory box?

I broke the pitman arm puller bolt on the steering box and had to remove the box and pitman arm together. I held the steering box in a vice and used a pry bar to unwind the remains of the puller. I ended up using a bigger hammer and another puller to remove the pitman arm on the bench. At this point I didn't want to trust what was left of the steering box for a rebuild. Man my pitman arm was tight.
