Chris, the problem is the shaft, It corrodes & rips the hell out the seals so just changing the seals wont do it. the shafts are stupid price from mitsi. There was a company on e bay selling fully refurbed boxes for about £200 with a warranty. Might be worth a look.

is it possible to repair the shaft and turn it back to the original size Alan

Not sure but it will eventually happen again. Do you have a lathe ?

mines still leaking

#22 by Alan G , Sun Jan 18, 2015 7:58 pm

I have a plan but not sure if it will work so need to trial it. if it works then I will be refurbing steering boxes for members & they should never leak again
