Id be wary of Redhead rebuilds on an 80 steering box. We got three in a row with the same leak. After shipping them back and forth for them to fix it, they finally just sent us a new box. They all leaked from the adjusting bolt on top. I even tried new Toyota seals on there and no luck. I'm...
If you look at the back corners behind the intake the harness bolts down in a plastic channel. If you unbolt that and unplug the transmission plugs coming out of it, you might be able to pull the harness up enough in the back. That harness is routed stupidly tight and just all around a pain.
