Power steering Seal Kit

(1/2) > >>

Ridgeback:
I have a bad leak coming from near the power steering box drop arm.

It will empty the tank in 2-3 weeks (not using it)

I have found a seal kit from Paddocks but not sure if its any easy job.
Has anyone had a go at changing the seals.

Any advice please.

I thought i would have a go at £15 for the seal kit, before i pay for a recon box.

Range Rover Blues:
I appreciate the economics but the main reason that seals fail is wear on the main shaft, so a new seal kit is an elastoplast fix.

Ridgeback:
my 90 has been sat in a lockup for about 2 years not moving and it did not have a problem before this. I was thinking its the seals have gone because of lack of use.

If it was the shaft thats worn out, I think it would have started to drip before I stoped using it for so long. Thats why I wanted to have a go at changing the seals.

Thanks for the advice, I will have a good look at the shaft to see if it looks ok.

Guardian.:
if it has been stood then maybee, but otherwise seals total waste of time, they leak because the bearings have gone, youl change seals every other weekend, and apparantly a pig to do also.

Ridgeback:
I dont think it should be that bad inside.
The box has only done 8K over the last 5 years and was a new one.

I have the seal kit now so i will have a go and if it comes to it i will get a new one.
