The upper seal on my power steering box is leaking. In preparation for
replacing it, I've discovered some new information sources, which I HOPE
are correct:

Here's an excellent photo tutorial on complete rebuild:
http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/how-rebuild-your-saginaw-zj-steering-gear-1287958/

I'd compare everything in there with "our" Don Wirth's article:
http://www.gmceast.com/GMCMH%20Steering%20Box%20watermark%20KH.pdf
At the very least, one needs to include our upper & lower limit stops as
mentioned by Don. And there have been some part number changes since that
article:
http://www.binderplanet.com/forums/archive/index.php?t-33414.html

I checked the new part numbers at RockAuto.com:
8222 is available at $18.08.
8225 is available at $5.06.

I'm tempted to tear the whole thing down. I thought I had a spare box,
which I WOULD have done, but I apparently gave it away.
