Car Forum / Jeep / March 2005Hey Mike and or Bill
I asked a while ago about seals for the power steering on my 81 CJ7, one of you gave a site with a seal kit, think it was $17.00, anyway time to quit topping it up every outing and fix it, it's the seal were the steering shaft goes in, anyway if someone knows were to get the seal kit I'd appreciate it. Hi Greg, Any of your local parts stores, that have a machine shop will have it. A Google search: http://www.rubicon4x4.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/459_2103 Be sure a rent/buy a puller for the pulley, and just replace that seal in place, works for me.

Sorry, I was thinking pump, you still need the pitman arm puller, try to find a shop with American tools, as it must be forged.

The pitman arm should not need to be disturbed. Mike Romain says the seals can be put in while the box is still mounted, all you have to do is pull the steering column and the seals will come off over the small shaft that the steering column is attached to. > Sorry, I was thinking pump, you still need the pitman arm puller, > try to find a shop with American tools, as it must be forged.

Can you come over and do mine? It has been leaking for a very long time and the path of least resistance is to carry a bottle of power steering fluid. > Yes, I have done it that way. > God Bless America, ?ill O|||||||O [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > you have to do is pull the steering column and the seals will come off over > > the small shaft that the steering column is attached to. Got my Bronco to do first. What I have found that will postpone fixing it, is to spray it with gasoline, then wash it off with your garden hose pressure nozzle. Swells the seal and washes out any dirt particles holding it open. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com http://www.billhughes.com/ > Can you come over and do mine?

I just checked and Canadian Tire sells the input seal for $16.00 and the other various seals if needed or a whole kit. I just unbolt the box and drop it down to change the front seal leaving everything hooked up to it.

Thanks, was going to check them today but didn't think they would come though, guess you don't remember their part # for when I go and the 16 year old says a what for a what? They are not known for having intelligent parts people at the best of times, but all the staff have changed here in the last month so I have to train them all again :) >I just checked and Canadian Tire sells the input seal for $16.00 and the > other various seals if needed or a whole kit.

The good parts guy is gone and the last time I got a part number off the bozo I was talking to on the phone, he got it wrong so I didn't bother asking him this time. Too bad to, the local CT used to be a great one, now they only have one brain dead fool on parts. I wonder if they know how much business he has driven away?
