power steering box leaking

--- Quote from: "clbarclay" ---If your going to remove the drop arm from the steerring box yourself, then you will probably need some heat. warm up the drop arm where its splined onto the streering box makes it a lot lot lot easier to remove.

An oxy-acetaline toruch works a treat, but I expect a blow tourch (butain etc.) would also work.

I can second that as i,ve just had my drop arm off to replace the bottom seal on one of my disco,s took a hydraulic puller at max to shift it with a little bit of heat to loosen the loctite :wink:

Range Rover Blues:
When they strat to leak from the output it's probably worn so new seals won't last that long either. Time for a recon, they are £99 from Paddocks plus your old one, that's obscene :shock:

thats fine if i had some money :wink:  a seal works for now and the mot is due in a week  :(

oakeedokee:
£99 sounds quite reasonable to me, I thought it was going to be a lot more.
 I know what you guys mean about getting the drop arm off - the last one I did took 2 days, wrecked two pullers and only finally gave way when I lost my rag with it and beat ten sacks of 5h1t out of it with a lump hammer :lol: .
 I've got another box sitting on a donor vehicle at the moment ready to come off, but are there any seals I will need to replace when I swap the hoses over or anything else that might need changing?

hobbit:
For a box swap, you should be ok, although check the top pipes for any O-rings that might need changing, got caught on that one once, but no great deal :wink:
