Early steering box gaskets

[jvincig01]

My steering gearbox leaks a lot of oil. It finds its way down the frame.

Question.., is it easy to just remove the 8 bolts here and remove the covers without moving the whole column?

My worry is a bunch of bearings and such will fall out because I just opened up pandoras gear box. Pun intended. Not sorry.

I just resealed my steering box. You can pull those covers without parts falling out. I used right stuff rtv to seal them up. The pitman arm shaft uses the same seal as an inner front axle seal. Easy stuff
