This is immensely informative. There is a tripod, lighting and focus. There is no music, no baloney introduction and no extraneous chatter. I've often wondered how recirculating ball steering works. My truck has no power steering, but thanks to you sir it will. Keep going; good luck.
So thank you !!! I'm renovating a 1984 Quadravan Ford econoline! I don't know what he took from me! I think I have gone mad! I got started on the case today I was blocked during disassembly. I had to stop because the hammer blow was becoming dangerous;) thank you very much, it's nice!
This was a great video for a DIY'er your explanations are good, your common sense is fairly tuned with mechanical seals and terms and such. Great Video!!
Yes this was very helpful . As I am about to embark on this journey of rebuilding or resealing the gear box on my 83 F100. Actually a spare one and then replace it. mine leaks bad. Anyway a good fluid to use on reassembly is ATF (auto trans fluid) as it is the fluid that Ford used in those gear boxes. Or power steering fluid is good too. Thanks.
Question: what is the order of parts below the sector shaft bearing? Is it the oil seal, then dust cap, then snap ring, then Pitman arm? Or is it bearing, then oil seal, then snap ring, then dust seal, then Pitman arm? I am repairing mine and looks like the old snap ring fell out a long time ago
Hey there, nice Video. I just replaced some o rings on my 84 f250 but my Problem is now, on the adjusting nut/bolt of the Sektor shaft oil is leaking. A lot oil. Any idea how that can be?
Did you have any trouble removing the nut for the adjustment? the one i'm working on goes to the end and them jams up. Can't get it off the stud. Also my Pittman (sector)shaft is rusted and pitted at the bottom where it goes in the seal. I polished it and then applied JB weld to the area to fill in the pits . Will sand down to where just the pits are filled with JB Weld . I don't know if it will last but right now is just an experiment. Will soak in fluid and see if it softens up or not. Who know I may end up replacing the whole gear box.
The four rings on the spool on mine seem a little stretched out by the time I got them on. Did yours relax after a while or did I stretch mine too far.

Avoid over stretching them too much in the first place. However they can go back into shape, but you'll have to wrap them with a piece of strap or any belt like strap for at least 15 minutes or so.
My -71 f100 poured fluid everywhere, turned out to be the cap in the bottom of the piston that was corroded to crumbles, you can see it in the top of the picture at about 7:00, with a hex head, causing the fluid to run around as it liked...
The truck has about 300k on it. I’m currently rebuilding the motor and have the entire front off so I thought it would be a good idea to just rebuild everything.
@@peakbaggerwolf1837 how did it work after the rebuild? I've read online that you can't rebuild them properly without certain precision tools but I don't know if that's necessarily the case. Good video.
@@shanesubashe787 well the truck isn’t completely finished yet so I haven’t had a chance to drive on it but I have put it under pressure and it didn’t leak any fluid so that was a good enough for me kind of test. I’ll let you know once the truck has been driven a little bit more.
Where is the tear down? Why post a video of rebuilding a steering box if you don't show the tear down as well? Are we just supposed to know? Ridiculous.
Don't worry about it, it's obvious the guy has know idea what he's doing to start with, no preload torque, no bearing depth measurement, doesn't even know which way the wiper seal goes in. screwdriver and a claw hammer.....

You give the do it your selfers more than a fair chance at tackling jobs such as these. Thanks.
This video is excellent. Got me through the project. Thanks

And what about last o-ring from kit on your table? :)

Same thing happened to me

ive got the
same steering box in my 90 chevy. it keeps blowing the seals that are for the,pittman shaft, any body got any ideas why?

Did you lose power steering those blue teflon seals looked real sloppy
Not a screwdriver (aaahhh), that is a sealing surface!!
How many miles did you get out of it before the rebuild? How did you know you needed to rebuild it? Thanks.

Watch it backwards. I’m sure you’re smart enough to figure it out.

Learned enough but buddy you gotta livin up a little bit boring delivery
