Power steering box rebuild - 1986 Ford F250 (Saginaw) 

This is immensely informative. There is a tripod, lighting and focus. There is no music, no baloney introduction and no extraneous chatter. I've often wondered how recirculating ball steering works. My truck has no power steering, but thanks to you sir it will. Keep going; good luck.

You give the do it your selfers more than a fair chance at tackling jobs such as these. Thanks.

So thank you !!! I'm renovating a 1984 Quadravan Ford econoline! I don't know what he took from me! I think I have gone mad! I got started on the case today I was blocked during disassembly. I had to stop because the hammer blow was becoming dangerous;) thank you very much, it's nice!

This video is excellent. Got me through the project. Thanks

This was a great video for a DIY'er your explanations are good, your common sense is fairly tuned with mechanical seals and terms and such. Great Video!!

thanks for the great detailed video, excellent work.

Yes this was very helpful . As I am about to embark on this journey of rebuilding or resealing the gear box on my 83 F100. Actually a spare one and then replace it. mine leaks bad. Anyway a good fluid to use on reassembly is ATF (auto trans fluid) as it is the fluid that Ford used in those gear boxes. Or power steering fluid is good too. Thanks.

Did you have any trouble removing the nut for the adjustment? the one i'm working on goes to the end and them jams up. Can't get it off the stud. Also my Pittman (sector)shaft is rusted and pitted at the bottom where it goes in the seal. I polished it and then applied JB weld to the area to fill in the pits . Will sand down to where just the pits are filled with JB Weld . I don't know if it will last but right now is just an experiment. Will soak in fluid and see if it softens up or not. Who know I may end up replacing the whole gear box.

The four rings on the spool on mine seem a little stretched out by the time I got them on. Did yours relax after a while or did I stretch mine too far.

And what about last o-ring from kit on your table? :)

Hey there, nice Video. I just replaced some o rings on my 84 f250 but my Problem is now, on the adjusting nut/bolt of the Sektor shaft oil is leaking. A lot oil. Any idea how that can be?

Not a screwdriver (aaahhh), that is a sealing surface!!

Question: what is the order of parts below the sector shaft bearing? Is it the oil seal, then dust cap, then snap ring, then Pitman arm? Or is it bearing, then oil seal, then snap ring, then dust seal, then Pitman arm? I am repairing mine and looks like the old snap ring fell out a long time ago

The four rings on my spool seem a little stretched by the time I got them installed. Did yours? Did they eventually snap back into shape or did I stretch mine too far?

Did you lose power steering those blue teflon seals looked real sloppy

ive got the same steering box in my 90 chevy. it keeps blowing the seals that are for the,pittman shaft, any body got any ideas why?

How many miles did you get out of it before the rebuild? How did you know you needed to rebuild it? Thanks.

Where is the tear down? Why post a video of rebuilding a steering box if you don't show the tear down as well? Are we just supposed to know? Ridiculous.

Learned enough but buddy you gotta livin up a little bit boring delivery
