Hi Guys,

Has anyone replace the gasket on the lid of their power stering box? mine is leaking and I tried to change it, removed 4 bolts ok and the nut on the threaded bolt in the center of the lid but I couldnt get it to come off to get the new gaset on so used some gasket paste in the mean time, help appreciated

I don't want to rain on your parade.... but the stud and jamb nut is an adjustment for the freeplay...

the 4 bolts are to take the center part out.... the part attached to your pitman arm...

You are not attempting a simple gasket change... you are toying with having to rebuild your entire box...

In my humble opinion.... or course... advice may vary here...

i've never taken mine apart, and it never leaked. but the sector shaft that connects to the pitman arm was worn and they replaced the whole box - luckily it was under warranty, 'cuz those babies ain't cheap and neither is the labor. if you put it back together, how is your steering now?

Thanks for the info Dawg, steering is ok and no leak now, I just thought it would have been better to fit the proper gasket.

Problem is in Ireland no mechanic wants to look at its as not a standard run of the mill car, but then that why I bought it. Is the correct place for the pitman arm up tight to the bottom of the pump?
