I’m gonna try and create my own plug by using the one where the hose connects to. This will be my mold. So first I’ll lather it with a lubricant like oil(just enough so it won’t get stuck to the mold). Then I’ll put it inside a spray an plastic cap. Then I’ll get a hot glue gun and fill it to where the thread ends. Let dry and un-screw. Now I have my mold. Finally I will lather the inside with a little lubricant (oil) and with the glue gun fill it with glue. I’ll top it off beyond the threading to have enough to later cut for a socket to fit. Oh yeah I’ll make sure and lather the top of the mold w a little bit of oil as well, so the bolt/plug won’t get stuck to the mold when I pour the hot glue. This is for a one time use. No need to tighten. Just hand tight enough for it to hold pressure to pop the seal.
Update: it didn’t work! Lol I didn’t realize how much pressure it gives off. Well I ended up ordering one from autozone. Fixed it no problem. I kept barely turning the key without turning on the truck, but nothing. I had to actually build up pressure first before trying to take everything off (hoses etc.) then I turned on the truck until I heard a pop sound from the seal. Changed it and was good to go.
Thanks for watching. I know you can find that plug online somewhere but I was in a rush one day so I just grabbed a fitting of the same thread type , smashed the end and than welded it together. Works and free.

Hey man, my steering gearbox (TAS65051) has two lines going into it. I want to replace the two fittings for those lines. How do I figure out what fittings it uses and where do I buy them?
If seal doesn’t pop than I’d be worried your power steering pump isn’t putting out any pressure. If the lines are plugged off than the pressure has to go somewhere. In rare cases I’ve had to drill a self tapping screw not to deep into the seal to pull it out with vice grips.
I tried to get just the seal kits for the steering gear box, they wanted to sell me the whole rebuild kit which is 560$, can I just get the dust boot, seal and locking ring and grease in a kit, for a 1995 international 4700 with a 7.3 turbo diesel?
Hey thanks for reaching out I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to I would check out other parts suppliers possibly eBay. Dealers should be carrying them.
I’m an up and coming diesel mechanic. Your videos will me later In time
Keep up the work man
Thanks for feedback man. Anything to help others. Good luck out there and stay motivated
Great and clean jack.congratulations 🎉
Awesome video!!! 👌 thanks!!! You save me 800$ , before I been replaced all gear box ...rrrr
Glad to hear it man. Hopefully you’re able to tackle this yourself and save some big $$$. And don’t forget these vids can make great holiday gifts.
Best thing about this shop is it's like getting paid to go to Coachella and wrench on expensive stuff.
What’s the part number of the seal tool.

Great vid. Where do you get the plug to plug off the reservoir port? Thanks!

Part number on seal driver?
Kent-Moore J-37073 input seal installer I am looking for it too online if you find it please let me know too thanks.
@@Safaricom_ every I look says out of stock
@@ryanparker6914 thanks for the quick reply
What to do if seal doesn’t pop up. Trued thousand times. Not even moving . I even tried to run the engine and turn the wheels- not!
I’ve been fighting that retaining spring for hours with no luck
Don’t let that thing kick ur butt. Show it who’s boss. I like to threaten the parts that don’t work with me.
I had to use a small flat head and one of those picks 😢to get it out. I was being careful at first until I realized you get a new one in the kit😂
Thanks!
