Re: Steering box leak
 

Hi Jim,
I can be done, but I think you'll be makeing more work for
yourself. Kind of reminds me I used to change water pumps on full
accessory cars like Cadillacs, without removing the radiator as the flat
rate called for. One, I had to re do, as I couldn't see the gasket I
screwed up, but then I was young and stupid.

Re: Steering box leak
 

You either have to remove the rad and pull the steering column inside
the vehicle cab out or drop the box.

You can just drop the box and leave everything connected except the
steering shaft like I outlined in my other reply.
