Thanks for the posts. I'm going to have to replace my seals too - my '94 XLT 2WD (all stock front end) is leaking fluid where the pitman arm connects to the steering box. From what I'm reading in your posts, you can replace the seals without taking the box off the truck (in fact, it sounds easier - you can use TireIron's trick to get the seals to come out.) I have two questions:
1) What's the best way to get the pitman arm off - is there one puller that's easier to use?
2) Auto Zone sells two seal kits for my truck: "Pitman Shaft Seal Kit" (Part #8778) and "Lower pitman shaft shaft seal kit" (Part #8779). On their web site, the Pitman Shaft Seal Kit is a little cheaper and looks about the same as the Lower pitman shaft seal kit, but it has one more larger seal. Which one should I use?
