I used to pay $3.99 for a complete rebuild kit from Transtech. I was buying hundreds of kits at a time tho. The 80' to 95' Fordngearbox kits were $1.99 each. Those I bought 500+ of. That was 20 years ago lol. Stuff has went up lol.
just got Rockauto's last kit on closeout for $4. sure glad to see you removed that while it was still on the vehicle. that was my question. Thanks for the great vid showing how to save the following: 3 hours to remove the gear box at $170/hr, $170 for alignment, $400 for a new redhead reman box, because my local suspension shop, that USED TO BE CHEAP, won't rebuild these, they only will replace them. So to hell with that, that's $1000!!! just to fix a stupid little leak!!! Lifesaver!
Oh wow, I was wondering where does this o-ring go, was it missing in my gearbox, until I've watched your video and realized that it is to to replace "flat" gasket I have in a groove! It made a huge difference in how hard was it to turn the thing, it was one rotation with a hammer and five rotations finger tight, to one rotation until I had to switch to the hammer for tightening it remaining five turns.
I used to rebuild steering gears and rack and pinions and cv axles power steering pumps from the late 90s till the mid 2000s. They are easy. Now the Saginaws in Gm vehiles!!! Lol. Drop the balls lol. They SUCK!!!!! Getting back in lol.

Have any experience with the output shaft going to pitman arm? Sorta the same as input?
We used chisels on the jam not as well. I wasn't paying $200 for the specialty tool they wanted. Nope!!!!
Keep it up brother! Great work
Thanks brother, appreciate the support
Nice job, nice savings!
Thanks!
Any ideas what size the jam nut is? Punch and hammer wont make it budge
I do not, but you could use a caliper to find out
Yeah replace yours with a reman and have other problems. Reman box only a year old already leaking
What you didn't do better video?
