Don't follow Will's advice. It's costly, a lot of work, and not necessary. --- On Tue, 11/22/11, w.wood <evil.scientist.boo@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: w.wood <evil.scientist.boo@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: Steering Box Rebuild To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tuesday, November 22, 2011, 7:23 PM Well, it sounds like there's multiple things possibly that need to be done. If it were me I'dd pull it and replace it with a rebuilt unit or have yours rebuilt. The problem is that after 50+ years it's probably time anyway.

Mine is leaking like a sieve. I was told by a local mechanic that there is no literature available on the size of the seals in the box and the best way to do it would be to take it apart and source the parts after removing them to get measurements. Believe it or not this is the last thing I need done on this Bus to drive it long distance! -- My Email Moniker http://www.findinternettv.com/Video,item,1570570433.aspx
