Ya got me Finny. If it were me, I'd probably just replace the whole thing. Hopefully someone else will know.

I tried replacing the seals on one and it lasted about 10 days. You are much better off replacing the whole thing. Also get a steering stabilizer bracket from some place like PSC motorsports. I went through 4 gear boxes, put on the bracket and all of my steering gear box issues went away.

I wont post anything other than you can replace the seals (its time consuming) but you can pick up a box at the parts store for $200
or spend a $150 more and get the best box on the market PSC

I wont even talk about the steering bandaids, I mean braces.
