Replace seal sterring box 1994 pace arrow

I have a 1994 Fleetwood Pace Arrow and need to replace the seal on steering box, looking for directions to do it my self
  • If your have a F53 chassis and if the output shaft seal is leaking, the seal is internal of the bearing and you'll need to disassemble the steering box to replace the seal. What looks like a seal on the end of the case is only a dust shield.

  • Also what seal? You have the shaft seal from the column and the shaft for the pitman arm. Top plate could be a gasket or a O ring. If lower shaft seal for pitman arm before I replaced I would have someone rock steering back and forth while watching shaft for any side movement. If you have side movement the bushing is worn and you should replace box.
  • You need to post what chassis Ford or Chevy.
    You can buy gasket material and make your own.
