Also, on removal of the shaft, I discovered it was bent - which is probably why it was leaking. So now I'm stuffed. I've bitten the bullet and purchased a second hand steering box... Hopefully it doesn't need a rebuild. We'll see when it gets here.
If you want a temp fix; I got a couple of 44mm/30mm seals, removed the pitman are and drove them up into the housing. Worked for about 18 months but seals eventually worked there way down and started leaking again.
A couple of bits of useful info I've learned from this saga: 2 door and 4 door Jk's have different steering ratio's, and thus steering boxes. RHD units are not available from PSC, Quadratec or any other USA supplier. Selector shaft is, however, interchangeable. Also, PSC said they are working on a RHD model but is "a little while away". Cant wait!
