TFC Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Todays project the steering box: Opened it up, got it apart, seems to be in very good condition(worm, sector, bearings etc). A good cleaning/reassemble/adjust should do it. I would like to replace the sector shaft seal though, does anyone know a "modern" part# that works and is easily obtained. Got to add really like working on my Dodge excepting the "parts chase". Thanks. Good idea to add this it is a Dodge B3B Edited April 17, 2018 by TFC add info about truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dozerman51 Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I used a metric seal on the sector set of my WC-12. The original OEM cheap metal retainer and cork gasket didn’t hold back s... . My buddy at the auto parts store measured up the old retainer and seal and ordered me a National metric seal. I took my gear apart, cleaned it, made a new housing bracket gasket, used Permatex when joining the 2 parts of the steering gear and installed the metric seal. Not one drop has leaked out of either the body or the sector shaft. After 30 + years of wiping the frame and springs, they are finally dry of 90WT oil. It has been 2 years now that I did this.

TFC Posted April 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Thanks guys! And JBNeal really liked "but wait, there's more" link. I love to get lost in the volume of great insight and wisdom available here just waiting to be read/absorbed. The only thing I like more than reading about what/how to do work on my truck is actually doing the working! Thank again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
