Power steering Seal Kit

<< < (2/2)

MONSTERED:
I done a set of seal on my mates steering unit on his disco (pos the same don't know to be honest) was a bit of a pig to do but i done it about 8 months ago and it hasn't leaked since. Worth a go for 15 quid.

Ridgeback:
Did you need any fancy tools to do the job. I have many different tools but you know what its like when you get something in bits and find out landrover made a tool just for that job.

I think it is the same box as a Disco.

Les Henson:
You need a pair of circlip pliers (internal type). There will be a clip, a spacer/washer, soft seal, and then a high pressure seal. The first seal is made of a very soft rubber and is easy to get out, but the inner seal is quite recessed and considerably more difficult to remove. Drill a small hole in the seal (not too far), then put a self-tapping screw in and pull the seal out with a pair of pliers. When you remove the last seal the fluid will dribble out, so put a suitable container under it and leave the system to drain down.


Les.

Ridgeback:
Thanks,
I have the box off now so will be having a go tonight.

if thats the only problem i will have, then i might even get to drive it this month!
