+ 2 year warranty with western power steering.. @dag019 i would go with these guys after my research tbh

I'm ordering one from westernpowersteering.. I've shopped around and for the effort of the extra £100, these guys have a good rep and looks like i can fit it and trust it. Few of the ebay adverts i've been are cheap seal kit replacements etc

spoke to these guys, they don't recon them (the ebay listing i shared)

I found another company, will let you know shortly @dag019

must be this time of year!

Been looking on ebay.. and no luck for £150 lol

Outcome.. just buy another box.. I ain't spending hours pulling that bearing race out

We got so far..

well im guessing this is the main cause of the leak :)

ok.. now we're in FFS territory

With some risk

I then decided i'll take the box apart.. out it comes..

I'm just going to leave these pictures here LMAO Dear diary.. Today I pulled out the steering box

Yeah i just took it out, there is a circlip behind it..

Just above that its also pitted into the seal area, i need to disassemble the box, but that will be a job for tomorrow to see if it's worth salvaging.. but from what i understand this is the outer seal right?

I believe britpart updated theirs in the last year.. don't quote me to that but i did notice that the rubber on the outsides got bigger.. I've heard buy genuine £100+ ones in the past year but tbh britpart ones are alright now, i guess they listened to the feedback
