Steering Box Leak
94 F250 with 105k on it and drove it to NC today, after an hour I looked out the window to see a decent puddle under the truck. Upon further investigation it's coming from the bottom of the gear box then runs down the pitman arm.
Anyone know if this is a hard fix to change out w/o getting much air in the system. Even possible bleeding the air out after installing new box since I REALLY don't want to go to the stealership for them to do it.
Any help is appreciated!!!!

after replacing the gear box fill p/s about 3/4 full, jack up front end off the ground so you can turn the steering wheel slowly bump stop to bump stop with out starting the engine, this will remove the air from the system, remember that the new steering gear box wont come with a pitman arm so you will need a puller to get it off the old one.

Sounds good but the old pitman arm won't even budge with using the pitman arm puller. So I'm looking at replacing that too. Called Advance n they said the ealiest they can get one in is Christmas eve

Use a hammer to shock it loose. Hit the end of the puller, tighten, hit it, tighten ect. Tap on the pitman arm too.

Top Seal
I am trying to replace the top seal on my 1991 F250's steering box. I finally was able to heat and pound the pitman arm off, but now cannot get the top piece apart to even look at the seals. Does anyone know how to disassemble this? I don't have a manual, nor can I find any info on this online.
Thanks
Scott

Leaky Steering Box
Tbone Heller...
Question then, I replaced my gear box and have had a continuous leak where the 2 lines go into it. I have tightened them up to the point I feel like I am going to break them. But I still have a continuous small leak there. The lines were flared that went onto the gear box. Are there 0-rings that are to go in there also or is it just a bad box. I live north on Atlanta on the I-85 side (currently in Afghanistan), but would love to have this stupid leak fixed.
Sorry to have hijacked this thread, but, trying to figure it out.
Thanks, Mark
