Tonk Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 i've got a bit of a weep on the input seal of my steering box, i've changed the seal which has helped a bit but it still weeps a bit of fluid, there's no play in the input shaft so i'm assuming its a bit of wear on it. i quite fancy taking it apart for a look but never had a steering box in bits before. if i take the top cover off am i likely to get smacked in the face by a big spring or anything untoward? anyone done this before?
