Steering gear box

my steering gear box is leaking so i bought another one and im going to replace it soon, does anyone have any info, insight, or videos on what i should do?

have you downloaded the service manual yet?

what gear box did you end up buying?

i have the haynes book, Fenco Steering Gear Box Part No. SG17533, im hoping all goes well is there anything special it takes to take off the old one? other then the pitman arm

REMOVAL
(1) Place the front wheels in a straight-ahead position.
(2) Disconnect and cap the fluid hoses from steering
gear.
(3) Remove coupler pinch bolt at the steering gear
and slide shaft off gear (Fig. 3).
(4) Mark the pitman shaft and pitman arm for
installation reference. Remove the pitman arm from
the shaft with Puller C-4150A (Fig. 4).
(5) Remove steering gear retaining bolts and nuts.
Remove the steering gear from the vehicle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the steering gear on the frame rail and
install the bolts. Tighten mounting bolts to specifications.
(2) Align steering coupler on gear shaft. Install
pinch bolt and tighten to 49 N·m (36 ft. lbs.) torque.
(3) Align and install the pitman arm.
(4) Install the washer and retaining nut on the pitman
shaft. Tighten the nut to 251 N·m (185 ft. lbs.).
(5) Connect fluid hoses to steering gear, tighten to

ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: Steering gear must be adjusted in the
proper order. If adjustments are not performed in
order, gear damage and improper steering response
may result.

not recommended. Remove gear from the vehicle
and drain the fluid. Then mount gear in a vise to
perform adjustments.

I am probably going to get the CARDONE brand from rockauto.

o ok i just needed a replacement because im getting fluid all over the place, but the steps you gave me where did they come from, the manual?

you likely wont have the specail tool, but removing the pitman should be fairly easy without it.

if the box does not have slack, it would be cheaper to replace the seals.
I have done it once in a jeep wrangler.

good luck
