Review on Gates 350640 Power Steering Repair Kit: Restore Steering Performance with Ease! by Max Guerrero

Revainrating 5 out of 5

1997 C2500 Suburban 454

Not a bad setup. Remove the plastic cover from the fan/radiator that allowed access to the top of the steering box, making removing the old gaskets a lot less of a chore. Loosen the nut on the shaft, raise the front wheels off the ground, take out the drive shaft from the box, push out the lower oil seal, remove the snap ring, remove the old oil seal, clean and polish the hole and the Block the shaft with a 3M, reassemble, fill and bleed the system. At first I had some dripping from the shaft/seal after installation but it quickly went away - cause not sure but has been fine since. Now it has several thousand kilometers.
