replacing seals with kit on a power steering box

It can be done, and without totally dismantling the box. I was speaking to someone who did it recently, and that most likely means he's on here, and he's obviously done it a lot more recently than I have.

Thank you for this encouraging response Harvey
 
It might be worth having it done professionally as they'll pressure test it and check the shafts for wear. Mine were out of spec and the fix isn't DIY. The shaft is plated and machined back to spec. I thought just over 300 pound was great value.

Hi Peter, can I ask where you got yours refurbished please
 
ICS still have a load of videos online regarding the rebuild process. As stated the box is fundamentally the same as Land Rovers. I took one look at these and decided it wasn't for me.

 
I should get round to fitting the NOS box for my P5B which l bought from James Taylor. That could possibly need seals but as Harvey says, put it in & see what it does. It was one of the first jobs l did on the car way back when l first owned her & it's not a terrible job by any means. Last time l drove the car the steering was terrible which my wife can vouch for as she had to use it for work one day.
