This video was brilliant, really helped me understand what was involved - I now have all the knowledge I need to pay someone else for a recon unit

I like the real world commentary! Makes me feel at home!

This sounds like a normal day in my garage. Super entertaining while helping to understand the internals of a steering box. Thanks

Entertaining yet educational. Makes mistakes but doesn't edit them out. How you aren't more popular is blowing my mind.

Wonderful and entertaining video. It has convinced me to spend the money and get a re-manufactured unit, because I would more than likely lose parts. Thank you.

Just in case someone is wondering how many balls inside the worm sector, there are 44 balls. Thank me later.

I always look forward to your videos. I'm usually in the same boat as you but with twice the cussing and more than likely twice the time. Fine job with the instructions and camera work. Thank you.

Just did my Hilux box. The main difference is it doesn’t have a piston guide. Most stuff looks exactly the same. Best video ever. 😂👏🏿

This was just pure gold. Thank you

Many thanks Sam, you're a life saver.

Excelente mi viejo. no entiendo el Ingles, pero viendo el paso a paso de tu video tranquilamente se puede realizar el mantenimiento correctivo de la caja de dirección de Toyota. gracias parcero por multiplicar su conocimiento. 👊👍

Great video. I will say that a 1-1/16" socket is the perfect size to land on the outer part of the bearing when driving in the input shaft seal. Also, using a small punch to push each individual ball into the worm gear makes quick work of getting the BB's back into place.

Just about to do this, great video thanks. I've already had to cut one of the chassis mount bolt heads off, so I'm already welding one step before you !

You are a mad man! Great video. Thanks so much.

Gracias por tu ayuda mi amigo ...me fue muy util para sacar el reten estaba atorado ya y no daba una

Thanks for the insight, extremely informative, and probably saved me alot of money. Cheers.

Came here looking for howto to recon mine... Subscribed because of the editing style, judicious use of MFer! (: and quality of the video! Keep it up!

Really enjoying your videos. Thank you!

Great video Bud. I really enjoyed watching it ... and your comments throughout, made it SO much less boring than around 85% of the other shit on KZfaq.

This was fun to watch. Good job.

You're really skilled at saying "Mother Fucker". I strive for your excellence.

This guy is very entertaining, reminds me of me when im playing with cars, but i will look into getting my box rebuilt by those who know how lol

Muchas gracias por el video tan genial. Saludos y abrazos desde Paraguay

Awesome and hilarious instructional video!

Very useful video, this steering box is very similar to the one found on a 91 4x4 Toyota pickup. Be careful with that power plunger nut because I rounded that too.

Educational and entertaining. Thank you brother. ✌️

Just fyi, i followed this video to rebuild a steering box on a 1989 hilux. Pretty much the exact same.

Thanks, now I'm certified steering gearbox rebuilder

Fantastic video, sir.

Thanks so much. So helpful

Man I liked your video that real time laps your expression it does happen some time

I used something like your adjustable pin wrench to change discs on angle grinders.

Once you center the sector shaft then install the end cover. After that step do you have to place the worm shaft in neutral position?

would you suggest thread lock on the main 8 bolts? Mine vibrated loose and drove home from 2 hrs with manual steering

Followed this for a 91 4runner gearbox, I said shit to the exact same spots. Very accurate video, thanks 😂

I’m following this but I’ve pulled my pitman arm off and now I’m wondering how you know where it’s supposed to go back on? Like how do you figure out which splines on the shaft are the correct orientation for it?

Awesome video thanks

Wait... did you place that oil seal (11:46) spring side in or out? Yours and mine started spring side out by the looks but itlooks like you placed it spring side in...?

Thanks for this, very informative

Great Vid!!!

the lock nut on the worm gear looks completely different on my 93 4x4. no holes for the pin wrench and only one big lock nut. It looks like a shallow socket, like you could the head of a huge bolt into it. any ideas?

This was great and you were very entertaining. I really enjoyed it and this convinced me not to try the rebuild right now on my 1989 22r. :)

My box is nice and tight, no freeplay but leaks like crazy from from pitman arm. Could I get away with just replacing pitman shaft seal?

How do you know that the power piston is properly aligned? Should it be In full contact with the worm gear hub/body?

What's the link for the centering valve cap got to weld on mine as well to remove

Thanks for this video. My steering gearbox is similar to this, it's a Toyoda and I'm not sure if the repair kit for this and mine are the same. Is there a size ofthe repair kit?

Do you perhaps have the seal number for the seal around the sector shaft exit?

Not sure if you reply to comments, but I'm rebuilding one currently and the power piston nut is like suctioned in and won't come out, any suggestions?

Great Job

What model Toyota is this box off? Not a IFS hilux 3L LN107R by any chance?

I have play on the shaft with the bearings. The end that connects with the steering shaft. It's fully assembled makes the steering have play. Any idea how to fix?

well done brother

Hey Nice video i did every thing You said but didnt mark they part when the fluid goes and now My steering is hard, that part affects??

Blood.. I've been trying to find a site to order that rebuild kit... But am not getting any lock. Possible you'll be able to assist me ???

You are hilarious! thanks for the vid!

Yoooh I am working on that thanks for the video

Does doing this improve steering ?

Great Video..😀😀😀

Watching you work is like watching me work. Lol

Great Video! Just do it!

Thanks bro cheers

You are amazing dude🤠🤠🤠

Yo mate where did you order that new special bolt the one you welded to get out unfortunately i had to do the same and can't find a new one

what pattern is that bolt he stripped at 2:36?

Hey, thanks for the vid, very helpful, unfortunately I started pulling it apart before I watched this (diesel mechanic so I thought I knew better lol) I didn't mark the cap/ worm gear valve, do you know if it'll cause any issues if guess where it is it seated correctly haha thanks

At 3:42, does the o-rings need to be lubed?

Great vid. 1 beer became at least three...

Pin wrench also used for doing hydraulic ram pistons

how many metalic ball?

Hey what symptoms would the steering box have for you to need to rebuild it? My steering box has a lot of play

Where can I get more off the bearing balls

That “pin wrench” is actually a very common tool here in Australia, we use it primarily to remove and replace discs on angle grinders, I’ve got no idea what we call it here though

What if there is no outer ring ? When you started to take the actual worm gear apart to rebuild it, that first ring that you removed with a hammer and screw driver. Mine doesn't have that outer ring. How do I get it apart so I can pull out the worm gear? I bought that harbor freight pin tool and tried to turn it cause mine don't have that ring. But it won't budge. So what is different? I'm working on a gear box for a 91 toyota pickup. It looks exactly like yours.

Is this the same for hilux 1992

Hey Sam is this the same box/rebuild that I would find on a 93 4runner? I'm going to help a friend reseal the gearbox on his 93 and I'm having trouble finding a video listed as being for this specific truck. Also when you said put fluid on the orings, you mean ATF or PS fluid? Or some other sort of oil grease? And on the large Teflon seal you said microwave for 1 minute, do you microwave the small one for the same length of time? Good video thanks

Great vid really helped with my rebuild! You should be made an honorary Australian! Mechanical work swearing and beer......as aussie as it gets!

I sighted a Harbor Freight pick from the $1.99 set, lol.

steering components how many recirculating ball

hi sam. how many balls inside the worm sector ?

How much did the customer save by rebuilding vs buying a new one? It also appears the fluid was the now watery original fluid. Lasting 300K Miles is no problem with synthetic fluid, on 3 of my vehicles.

Of the best

Om 8:54 until 9:14 you've released Seal, Snap Ring, Metal Spacer, O Ring and Teflon. But why when you assembly its you assembly the piston first instead of Seal, Snap Ring, Metal Spacer, O Ring and Teflon ?

hahaha I laughed way to at this rebuild. Good stuff man hah

Could you do a 60 series landcruiser next please ?

Its almost like watching Chrisfixit with a mix of soundman ca..

رائع

9:30 Mysterious accumulation of Miller cans...

Will this rebuild solve play problem in the steering wheel or is that due to worn down metal parts?

Sam, Why did you not do the bearings while you were in there? Thank you

тефлон нельзя тыкать острой отверткой)) а так - молодец!!

Rebuilt my box using this great guide after fixing leaking steering column seal, re installed and now seem to have more slop in the steering than before (can turn the wheel almost 2" each way before the pitman arm begins to turn). Adjusting the adjusting nut all the way in doesn't seem to fix it. Any ideas where I might of stuffed up??

We speak the same language!!

كم عدد الرمان بلي

Sorry if I missed it but what years Toyota does this video apply to? Hilarious video btw!

Hey Sam, can I get the part number for the piston nut?

Love your videos, brilliant. Just one problem I saw...Miller LIGHT...

What kind of oil did you use? And how did you put it in? Tank you it was a great video

Fire fire..

How many ball bearing does it have ?

How did you remove the small u-joint just before the steering box?
