I had already posted that #16There are posts on here about the lower seal. I think the basic procedure is to remove the pitman arm, the snap ring that holds the seal in & turn the car on. The pressure blows the seal out. I haven’t done it yet, but as I understand it can make quite a mess.
pretty much. I should mention that late model power steering gears require a 1&5/16 hex socket for nut under pitman arm. Common socket sets stop at 1&1/4. You may need to increase rpm, steer to one end, and yes it can make a mess if you dont have a big catch pan. Socket or whatever knocker fits and deep enough. I have used the old seal to get a little better fit and/or depth.So Redfish, remove the Pitman arm, Dust Cap and Snap Ring, on the lower one and just start the car and the seal will blow out. Then I will be able to push a new seal in with a socket just like the top?

The pitman shaft is the output side of the steering box and on an A body it is located on the bottom side of the box.Or is it a Pitman shaft seal?
