Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Did my hi-steer kit a while aog and have been strong arming the steering ( with fluid hooked up ) and have finaly got around to making custom brackets and hoses to mount my pump. Got it on it lines up, dosen't thro belts and works great, but now it seams to have a leak out of the botom of the box where the pitman arm bolts on
Any one else had this or other IFS steering box leaks and how easy are the to overhaul or where can i get his done??

Thanx in advance CoXy

I paid about $150 for a seal kit and it took me about two hours once I had the box out

I did my sector shaft seal here: http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic ... 0#p1887130" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

However, its got a tiny leak again.

Thanx blokes think it'll give it a go myself.... dont want to wait for rebuild by someone else and might tyr using Auto trans fluid too

PS are there different types if IFS steering boxes??? If so how do i know what kit to order???? I bought the box 2nd handf and can't remenber what car it was out of

The rough as guts repair is to drain the oil, tap in a nipple, fill it and call it a greaseable part. Never have to worry about leaks again.

haha done this in my cruiser. works a treat. this was only after i was quoted $850 exchange for a rebuilt one thou,

I've looked into it before.. $450 rebuilt. Apparently rebuilding it yourself would usually only last 12 months or so until it flogs out again. The reason I was told is that it's all about getting the correct amount of 'free play' in it and it's a very precise rebuild. My mechanic said he didn't even want to touch it for that reason and you're better off getting it done by a specialist... And he wasn't just trying to back out of doing it...

Sorted out what box it was and got a seal kit from mr ebay for $110 and im just going to rebuild it myself... I'll let you know how it goes and post a few photos.

Got it out.

What is the go with these ball bearings all ?????

Removed shaft and leavered the rused to the seals out.

Bit of freeze your nuts off and i got the last bit apart.

And this ( plus a bit of ) is how you get the ball bearing back in.

$110, 4 hours, 6 beers and a lots of head scratching and the box don't leak no more!!!!
