It's important to drill the two holes with the drill. I once tried to drill holes with a spoon, this video saved my life.

Your a Genius! Took me a little over a hour to replace the seal. I just replaced one while it was still in the truck. Thank you.

Great video man! finally a video that actually shows you what you need to do

EXCELLENT JOB! I did this job on a "99 F150 this weekend and your video helped A LOT. Thanks *fist bump*

well done young man, the 2 screws is a very good idea.

Very conscientious of you brother to wash up and make it look so tidy for us. Easy to follow.

That was amazing. I been thinking of fixing my own power steering leak because too many mechanic shops out here in Atlanta Georgia overcharging for anything. Trust me Every shop is scamming. It depends on what good person is in the building that will result help u.

Great vid bro, thanks for taking the time to make video!

Snap ring Pliers are a great investment I'm always using needle nose too and it's aggravating

Awesome video. Easy to understand.👍👍👍

Good video - thanks for posting Simple use of everyday tools … Thanks

Thank You tgmac8288 ! Great Video ! You certainly did...... "help me good" !

Great job n fresh idea wit the 2 screws, do post more on new ideas!

Thank you…….looks pretty simple to me. I would have spent more hours researching this if I had not found you. I have the truck up on ramps and I have looked it all over. I believe that I can replace my pitman arm seal without removing the gear box. Again…..Good job!

Thanks, this really helped awesome !

Great video! Smart young man, but after working in a shop for many years, I have one piece of advice; No flip flops when doing anything with tools. Workboots, dude. Steel toes optional. p.s. snap ring pliers will make your life easier, too lol

This technique worked fine for me! I was worried about the effort needed to drill the two holes, but was pleased to see that I had drilled through only a thin seal, and not a hardened piece of steel. After removing the gear box from my 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis, I drilled 2 holes using a 1/8" titanium coated drill bit. Drilling took only 26 seconds per hole(!) and it was very obvious when to stop drilling (when the bit was through the seal). The seal removed easily with 2 screws. THANK YOU tgmac8288 for saving me from tearing down the gear box just to fix the input shaft seal! I wish I had tried drilling the box while it was still on the car using a rotary tool; there was probably room for it, meaning that I might even have saved removal and installation of the gear box. I removed the pitman arm from the gear box but did not separate the arm from the center link. With both front wheels suspended it was still a bit of a hassle getting the pitman arm back on, but it was possible to leave it connected to the center link.

Great Video and info !

FYI the retainer you call a C clip is a Snap Ring and the best way to remove and install them is snap ring pliers. Not an expensive tool but good ones pay off with snap ring pliers because the tips of the pliers can break off and happens often to the cheaper ones. A C clip has no holes at the ends where the gap is and they are generally used with the tension on the inner surface. Snap rings with the holes are used with tension inside or out and the pliers change for either and different gap size for the rings size sometimes.

very good very helpful thanks !!!

Hell yeah, technique worked on a 2014 freightliner. 🤙🏼🤙🏼 thanks a bunch!

Thanks a lot , it is really helped & useful

Thank you...

thanks men

thanks

Good video

Thanks man.

Ladies and gentlemen, this right here is the difference between working on German cars and literally anything else

Would this be the same process for a 2009 Chevy duramax ? To where I can leave it in the truck and disconnect the steering shaft and can I just pull the seal like what was done in this video. And replace it or do I half to take to apart?

Good very good

After 2 + years driving with a PS leak, finally found the source today. The area around the input is soaked. There is nothing above it as to have been dripping on it. I guess my biggest issue will be getting the other components off to do this repair.

I have seal removal tool that slides behind the seal pulls it right out but I’ve definitely used the two screws trick before I became a tech. 👍🏽

Good job man. I have a 2001 f 150, I wonder if it’s the same way? Also can this be done with the gearbox left on the vehicle??

Hope this method works same way on 2001 dodge ram 2500 4x4

great job bro thanks!!!!

👌👌👌

👍

Hoping I can do this in vehicle, on a 93 dodge pickup, while I have the whole wheel torn apart down to the spindle, with good amount of room to work.

I noticed he was having trouble with the snap rings getting them in and out with regular needle nose pliers iv'e had to do thing with the wrong tools before and the right tools too and the right for the job makes the job ten times easier. And also drilling the seal wont mess nothing up necessary but if u get metal shavings in that power steering gear box you'll be replacing more than a couple seals not saying don't do it just saying be aware of what your doing. But good video on how to do it without the proper tools because i know everyone doesn't have the specialty tools they may need to get the job done.

👍🏽👍🏽

you need TYPE F automatic trans fluid for all ford power steering from 1970 to 1994

You should get some snap ring pliers. Its allot easier than needle nose pliers

Will this helps stop the leaks, or is there other place that it leaks and needs replacement/repair

Just drill one small hole in the seal and feed compressed air into it, the seal will shoot outta there at a hundred mile an hour.

O Wow

How to put oil in it

the input... Is that where the steering linkage connects from the wheel or the where the pitman arm connects?

Great video but it's not a C clip it is a snap ring

Where did you get the replacement seal from!!!

Is that kit for all steering boxes?

Always use safety glasses young guy, those c clips are dangerous

From what car is that power steering gear box from? @tgmac8288

where can i buy the seal kit for wrangler 2007 jk?

Granted the two screws were a good idea...but you just flipped the seal which has two holes in it now 🤔 leaks again...am I missing something please let me know

What is the part number

Hi can you please give me the model please

Is that shaft removable?

I am changing my daihatsu. However service manual mention to put the oil seal with the manufacturer name facing the inside. Which is facing the other way unlike this video.

Nice Job! goall.org

You shouldn't be doing any repairs on a vehicle in sandals and buy some damn snap ring pliers
