Re: Power steering gearbox - blowing fluid
Jason,
Thanks for the help and suggestions. The repair wasn't that tough.... $13 in parts and darn near $100 for the tools (pitman arm puller, snap ring pliers, a huge socket, seal installer). I got it done, took it for a drive yesterday, and it blew out the seals again. It appears that the snap ring doesn't want to stay secured in the housing. What could cause that?

Re: Power steering gearbox - blowing fluid
Not real sure! Are you sure you had the snap ring seated in the groove all the way! When I install snap rings sometimes I give them a tap with a punch so I know it is in the groove all the way. I wish I could help and had an answer for you. The one I rebuilt was my first also.
