[Amc-list] leaking Saginaw manual steering gear box

[Doug Dornbos <dornbos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all

I bought two Saginaw manual steering gearboxes at the Rambler 100th 
birthday swap meet several years ago and they both leak pretty bad so 
they've just been laying in the garage. I want to put one of them in my 
car however so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience working on 
these as a DIY project. The web is surprisingly void of any help on 
doing this or I'm not searching on the right words. I have the 
directions shown in the factory service manual but they show a few 
specialty tools which I don't own which I suppose I could buy but I 
haven't priced out yet.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here? the rebuilt units I can 
find from places such as carsteering.com run close to $300. I am hoping 
to repair one I already own for much less than that if possible.

or is there a trick to getting them to stop leaking without taking them 
apart?

thanks
Doug
