what have you wrenched on your bronco(s) today?

[jollygrngiant]

Yesterday, Chuzie stopped by to help me work on some stuff for my Bronco. Our mission: install new seals and gear on my steering box and replace front and rear axle seals. I already had the box off the bronco. Started with the snap ring at the bottom of the shaft.... Came off fine, after removing some sludge around it. Then we realized we had to hook it all back up to blow out the seals. That went fine, after using a 1/2 a gallon of PS fluid. Got the seal kit from JBG, not too happy with them. It was a Gates seal kit, so it could be used w a whole bunch of PS boxes. Of coarse 1 of the seals I needed wasn't in the kit! Wtf!! For $56 one would think everything I needed would be in it, but nope. Bu that wasn't the only problem. After further inspection of the shaft, we noticed some pitting going on and some ridges. So, I decided I'm going to send it off to get rebuilt. Ended up putting on another old Gear box that doesn't leak that I had laying around. It just has some play in it. So it'll do for now
