You were the only person who disassembled completely and knowledgeably. I am doing two at the moment and need to see the rebuild with new kit. I watched many and they were mostly replacing. Thank you. Joe
These box's rarely leak. The main problem is shaft play at pit man arm, and play at steering wheel. Thank you for going all the way to bearing replacement.And worm gear. Where did they kit come from. One complete with all bearings, not just seals. Very good work. It takes time and much thought to make these videos. Top notch work going on here. Thanks.
I love it when I see these videos when the pitman arm is removed an go straits to the retainer clip...most jobs I've done there is a pressed washer so you have to remove the shaft because of it
Thanks, great video! Im at the same point in rebuilding by box as you are at the end of this video, (empty case). You have been really helpfull... Now I just need to figure out where the 9 or 10 O-rings go in the master rebuild kit. some are obvious, others...not so much.
I'm trying to follow your video. My gearbox looks like yours but it from a 98 GMC K1500, How do you figure out what model gear box you have? I have the box apart but notice some differences. Thanks for sharing the video
Absolutely excellent video. I haven't tinkered with one of these since I was a kid in the 90's helping my dad at the shop. Now I got one to repair on an old C10 pick up. Your video put me up to speed in no time thanks! 👌🏽👍🏽 Quick question though, will a rebuild kit correct excessive rotational play at the input shaft? I can turn the shaft 1/4" or so both ways before any movement is detected at the pitman arm.
+Lynx Star Automotive (Gabe V) If it's not physical wear on the parts I would think the adjustments at the end when it's done should take care of that.
anyone have any suggestions on removing the worm gear assembly. following the video exactly, also using needle nose instead of spanner wrench, and i cannot budge this thing loose for the life of me. I'm talking completely seized in there??????
Great videos ! My box is leaking from the front aluminum cover seal. Can I remove the cover and replace the seal still mounted in the car? Can I purchase just the seal? Thanks
If you're talking about the Housing End Plug (that big "cup" at the end of the unit facing toward front of car), then yes. I'm not sure if you can buy only that o-ring, but you should be able to.
good video but you might want to put more light (a lot) on the subject, focus the camera and try to set the camera up so that your hands aren't in the way. but your subject matter is great and you explain things pretty well. good job
+Brett Lewis Honestly, I think the kit (or kits) are made by only a few mfg. They just get boxed and sold by different companies. The one I used was "made" by Duralast. I thought it was a well put together kit.
+hutchhiperf Ok thanks for the reply and the videos its awesome just following along rebuilding it. I messed up the power piston teflon seal though i got impatient and forced it. Guess i will try boiling the new one.
hellow! my name is raz alkabets and i have question: there is a nut with two holes,what he adjust??? i know the nut with the ellen key i know what he doing!
Are you talking about the Pitman Shaft "Over Center" Sector Adjustment?? It increases or decreases the mesh between the Pitman Shaft and Rack Piston teeth. This tightens or loosens the feel at "over center" or when just starting to come off of pointing straight. I think that's what you're asking. Let me know.
no. i am talking on the scheibe with two holes! lets say that i am open the hood in my gmc safari and i am looking from above and i see the input shaft that comes from the dashboard/firewall he entering into the gear steering when he get in there is an a big adjust nut with two holes! what is that adjust??? thanks...
Raz Alkabets AHH, sorry. That is the lock nut on the adjuster plug. It holds the adjuster plug in place after setting the Thrust Bearing Preload. Check out the "Part 1" video. I go through the adjustments in that vid. It leaked out a couple of seals afterwards, so I rebuilt the whole thing,
i want to tell you somthing!.after i bought my safar then i doing a oils changing,then the all sysytems collapse,a/c.a/t,ST,just the engine.water cooling and the back axe staying alive,i do a rebuild to all ST,pump,hydrobooster,gear ST,and all boll joints,plus greasing them,when my mechanic replace the gear ST,the ST was no like i except,before i replace the gear ST,it was so soft that turn the vehicle with my little finger of my hand,and after the repair it was like honda civic,daihatsu charade no like GMC SAFARI,i do a adjust by sector shaft,(loosen the nut with ellen key,adjust,and locking the nut),it will do a little play left and right and little soft but never like the first gear ST(i plaing with the sector shaft a lot but nothing) can i do a adjust by the two holes left and right scheibe??? or there is an other solution??? thank you very much... raz alkabets
hutchhiperf hellow "hutchhiperf" remember me? i am with the gmc safari what's up? i have a secret for you! i dont know if i renew to you but i find out what was making my steering so soft and easy to use! the previous car owner was a disabled person and it was renovated steering gear box someone took out the pinion from inside the box sanded it somewhere in place who deal with it and replace it back in the box where it is should be! that what i dont know from the begining! how i found it!? i asked car builders for disabled persons just wanted to share this with you
As I understand it, there’s only one adjustment, (at the top of nut and Allen wrench), iv tightened the Allen bolt as far as it goes and still have some play in the steering, I’m I missing an adjustment
Claro porque yo tengo una ala venta y me preguntaron si era interna o externa poreso le pregunto para saber cual es la que tengo yo y darle una correcta respuesta al hombre que me pregunto.
Thank you for doing this series! You saved my bacon on my overhaul. I thought I was going to have to buy a rebuilt one but using your video and techniques, I'm good to go! thanks link: 67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showpost.php?p=6735331&postcount=2045 Mike
Great news! I'm glad it helped. I like the color of the installed box in the pick. So many times you see them painted black. I like it when the mechanicals stand out instead of just blending into the background.
Sorry. I understand (I think) what you're saying. It's a different PS Gear Box all together from the original that was there. Don't know what to tell you there. Maybe take it back and explain your problem. You start playing with it too much and mess something up, they may not warranty it. It may be the wrong geared box for your application, or a constant effort vs a variable effort box, or your first was just really loose compared to this one. Too much to guess in a post.
thanks for your respond! i saw my steering box/gear the repair one and the old one,they are look the same excatly!!! i know that in post situation it hard to identify the issue,i want to know what the nut with two holes from above doing? i can play with it left and right? and if i can it is risky? what kind of steering gear i have? saginaw 800?? where can i find the number/model/or type of my steering box? please help me with that and i will help you with many things that you will need to by the way after all giant invest on all components of my steering i do a flush with special oil "BG 100% synthetic power steering fluid" after the flush the fluid was looks shining green,a lot of crap goes out! and after 7,100 kilometers the fluid transformed to red like the first fluid when i bought my safari,and now i do it again!!! thats all :) thanks again!
Raz Alkabets I see your post on AstroSafari.com. The pick shows the end cap. That is usually where that info is. The new one probably doesn't have that. I would go back to the forum and discuss the matter further with a group that knows your vehicle better. Good luck.
ok! if you have any solution for my problem just write to me. i am so grateful to you and i am very appreciate your help and your support! thank you very much. Raz Alkabets...
Man this would've been a lot easier if I'd watched this video BEFORE digging into a steering box! Thanks for the awesome tutorial!!
Better late than never! Thank you!!

The best tear down I have seen of anything mechanical thanks
Thank you
Glad to hear that. I wanted to do a full rebuild vid series, but didn't know if anyone would be interested. Good luck with the rebuild.
Best video I've seen yet on this topic. Thanks for doing it. I'd love to see the rebuild one too.
I love it when I see these videos when the pitman arm is removed an go straits to the retainer clip...most jobs I've done there is a pressed washer so you have to remove the shaft because of it

Did you just give me video advice on something I filmed 9 years ago??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That box in which vehicle comes assembled of origin? Thanks and very good the video . montevideo uruguay
If I understand the question correctly, the box came from an 85 or 86 Monte Carlo SS.
thank you very much , Great videos
What kit do you recommend using?
+Brett Lewis Honestly, I think the kit (or kits) are made by only a few mfg. They just get boxed and sold by different companies. The one I used was "made" by Duralast. I thought it was a well put together kit.
Muito bom
where can i get that bearing....
SLH12501
+Marquis Long I got my rebuild kit from Autozone. If you need only one certain bearing, check with the counter or try Rockauto.
Thanks
i forgot,please of course :)
Did you notice that the old sector shaft roller bearing has a lip or ridge on the outside of it and the new bearing doesnt? Not sure if it matters
+GhostWS.6 I will say it did make me pay attention to how deep I installed the bearing. Other than that, I don't think it was an issue for me.

what's up?
i have a secret for you!
i dont know if i renew to you but i find out what was making my steering so soft and easy to use!
the previous car owner was a disabled person and it was renovated steering gear box
someone took out the pinion from inside the box sanded it somewhere in place who deal with it and replace it back in the box where it is should be!
that what i dont know from the begining!
how i found it!? i asked car builders for disabled persons
just wanted to share this with you
What wears out, I see the rebuilt kit only has gaskets
Usually it's because of leaks and needing readjustment.
As I understand it, there’s only one adjustment, (at the top of nut and Allen wrench), iv tightened the Allen bolt as far as it goes and still have some play in the steering, I’m I missing an adjustment
@@rogervee689 watch the first video again
Es interna la caja o externa?
No estoy seguro de entender. La caja es externa y está montada en el marco del lado del conductor. Está conectado al volante por un eje intermedio.
Claro porque yo tengo una ala venta y me preguntaron si era interna o externa poreso le pregunto para saber cual es la que tengo yo y darle una correcta respuesta al hombre que me pregunto.
