Re: Back to the Basics: Re-Sealing a leaky power steering box
TXfirefighter: do you have a thread on re-sealing the pump? I've searched but nothing came up. Your steering gear thread is excellent.
I was preparing to remove the box and tear into it, but after a trip to the car wash to clean the whole system I could see it was coming from above instead. I would suggest that first step to all, BTW.
I would also note that, if at some time in your truck's life, on the return line, someone has either (A) used too large of a worm drive hose clamp, or (B) re-used the full-circumference factory clamps beyond their service life; either one might seem tight at the screw, but loose around the hose.
Back to the job at hand (fixing the leaking pump)--it seems intuitive. I just don't want to overlook anything. Mine has the remote reservoir, so that reduces the places to leak.
