Mini- Truck Steering Box Rebuild (2 Viewers)

I believe you literally egg out some holes, and you're good. It's so easy that you don't need, say, a YouTube video. Obviously, test-fit all this off the truck.

I would definitely do this if you have headers, since everything is hotter with headers.

Well I hate to admit that this thing sat for 6 months, a head gasket failure on the 80 and other crap mothballed this project. Last night it came to life and I was able to assemble the box over the course of a couple hours.

The key for me was that I reread this thread again and noticed which rubber o-ring was used from the kit on the power piston

I also noticed I had the dust seal in backwards and corrected this before installing the cross-shaft

Finished, need a better two hole pin wrench to set the preload but it’s together

Now on to this

I reset the preload on the top cap, I did it by feel since I don’t have the tool. Install was pretty straight forward using a new Fuji drag link kit.

Woke up early and put in another hour to mount my blinker and secure the wire harness along the apron. Fired her up to bleed the PS box and drove her to work to get it inspected
