Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Probably a bit mundane but if someone knows it'll save me a few headaches. With a HJ47 conventional steering box does the sector shaft have to be removed to change its oil seal

it's possible to change the seal without disassembling the box however if it's leaking it's likely the sector shaft bearings are on the way out and/or the shaft spigot is scored/pitted where the seal runs, so you might need to fit a speedisleeve. you will need to pull the pitman arm and they can be difficult to get off with the box still in the truck.

first step would be to pull the draglink off and check the box for play in the sector shaft. if it's ok (zero play), go for the seal.

cheers

Thanks Brian, I'll probably do that on the weekend & have a proper look at it.
