Hi all, I have a leaky seal at the top of the steering box. Not too bad, but I hate leaks. I was wondering if it is replaceable in the coach or not. With the grill out, there seems like enough room to work.

If so, is there anything special needed? I haven't been able to find a good description on how it's done, but it looks like I just need to unscrew the top, pop out a retainer and pry out the seal. I am wondering if any thrust or preload adjustments are disturbed by removing the top. It seems like it could be.

I've only replaced whole steering boxes and was always told not to screw with them.

What do you guys think...Thanks
