Default Steering gear box rebuild, anybody done it?

Ive been putting this off for too long, for the past 2 years ive been putting power steering fluid in it, the leak has gotten almost out of control, I have to refill my power steering pump everyday.

This weekend I am replacing one of the power steering hoses, and replacing the gaskets and seals in the steering gear box. The gear box looks pretty easy to get out.
Any tips/tricks for rebuilding the gear box, anything to look out for?

I hope I dont have to replace it, there expensive!

Thanks,
Mechaniczman
