had an interesting day, steering box sprung a leak the other week, pulled it out today and started pulling it apart, had to knock the shaft bearing out to get the oil seal out and then destroyed the bearing trying to get it back in...sigh. Anyone ever replaced one before and can recommend a supplier ? If not i think ill take it to the bearing shop on monday.

Apart form that, fitted a new steering dampener and new drums

Edit - Great rebuild page if anyone is needs to do it in the near future

Didn't replace all of the seals, just the leaking ones around the pitman arm.
