They sell rebuild kits for the steering gears at Rockauto. You need to remove the gear to be able to do it.
Just replace the gear with a remanufactured one It's less work. The one person I know of to replace the seals said it was not worth the effort, and leaked again.
I used Lucas Power steering stop leak. It allowed me a couple more years before I had to replace the leaking gear.
Take a turkey baster and remove as much fluid from the PS pump, and replace with Lucas, and you might not have to replace it for a long while.
