RE: {Chrysler 300} Power Steering Gear

OK: Once, again displaying my ignorance and paranoia.

Do these steering gear shops replace the inner gears when needed, or just replace/service seals, bushings & bearings as needed? Or do the big parts like gears run forever/or new/restored available somewhere/somehow? Similarly, anyone have a source for a boogered-up brass fitting on a ’64 box? The one that has straight threads to the box and tapered hose fitting on the other? Damaged in storage—may even be a steel fitting, not brass.

Grateful for the knowledge base out there.

Hi Loren,
There will be a snap ring under the dust seal. After you remove that, put a pan under the steering box and start the engine. Turn the wheel all the way to one end, hold for a second, back off and repeat. The extra pressure will pop the seal out. Be careful putting the new seal in, as you can go to deep. Use the steel spacer and snap ring as a guide.

I am Loren Nelson and my 300G steering gear is leaking at the pitman arm. I have removed the pitman arm and seal dust shield. The FSM says to remove the seal with Puller C-xxxx. I don't have that puller and don't know where to get one. I tried O'Reilly's and they don't have a similar tool..I plan to remove the seal by drilling holes in the seal and use 1/4-20 sheet metal screws pushing on the end of a brass bushing that is shown in the FSM to be at or near the seal.
My question for the Club members is this plan a good one or will I mess something else up in the process?
Thanks,
Loren
