Can I put in this out shaft seal without removing the gear box or taking it apart?

I had success using a wooden tip to push the bearings back in.

Nazkin, which seal are you asking about?
Hi, Thanks for the right up. Mike
I resealed my box today and figured I'd post my observations. The process is not too bad, especially if you have all the proper tools. The sector shaft Teflon seal and oring was a pain. The repair manual says to heart shape the Teflon seal and install it into the oring. I had better luck setting the Teflon seal in and pressing the oring in around it. The piston Teflon seal is very easy to cut so be extra careful installing the piston. The repair manual says to use an sst similar to a piston ring compressor and compress the seal for 5-7 min. I have most sst available but most of them for the old stuff are long lost and no longer available. I cut the new Teflon seal so I reused the original and I used Emory cloth to smooth the edge in the box to help the Teflon seal go in and it seemed to help. I used a pitman arm puller on the pitman arm and it came off pretty easy, no press needed but I also have a rust free Texas truck. I set my preload with the sst and torque wrench, but it feels too stiff. I'm not sure if it's normal or if the box was not set correctly when it was last rebuilt.
hi guys
ive pulled my power steering box out of my 80 series and it has play on the sector shaft and the cruiser is driving like crap. ive been told to change the box but over here in aus we cant buy the sector shafts
is there any way on stopping the up/down movement on the sector shaft going up to the steering wheel
will a sector shaft from a lhdrive fit a rhdrive
any help on this would be great
regards peter

I have the Toyota reseal kit in front of me. The seal is made by NOK and the part number is AP8096E. These are the specs: Inside Diameter: 18.01 mm,0.709 in; Outside Diameter: 32 mm,1.26 in; Width: 7.01 mm,0.276 in.
To the ih8mud gurus. Reading else where I found references to the Input shaft seal part being Toyota p/n 90311-24001. Has any one had experience with this? Is this the correct part number?
Additionally:
Non genuine numbers are:
Brand SKF -- part number 7007
Brand NOK -- part number AP8096E
Toyota p/n 90311-24001 (same seal as used in the power steering pump)

+1 Anyone? The vane pump housing seal for my '96 shows p/n 90316-17003, different than the one you found mentioned at toyotasurf. I have the vane pump rebuild kit so looks like I'll just have to get finished with the gear disassembly and compare the seals. I'd prefer having a confirmed p/n though....
In case anyone was confused like I was after reading this thread....the input shaft seal IS included in the Toyota gasket kit. Perhaps it was not at some point??? Other than the kit, the only other part I needed was a replacement guide nut. The kit is below with the seal in the lower right corner.
....err I mean left corner.

Glad I'm going through her.

So what fluid did you use? ATF or Power Steering fluid?
