Steering Box Rebuilding
 

Other than the major parts vendors, is there someone I should talk to about rebuilding the steering box. It's not something I want to tackle myself.

The Diablo A's have a great DVD you can buy that walks you through this. They usually have it listed on ebay. I used it and it was a huge help in answering a lot of questions. I watched it a couple of times before I attempted the process and made notes of what I thought was the most problematic.
Good Luck!

Ora Landis of Schwalm's does a fine rebuild of steering boxes. At times he even has exchange units in stock.

I'm going to go with Bert's. They have someone that has been doing it for years. It's a flat $125 labor charge plus the cost of parts that need to be replaced. In my book, $125 for labor is money well spent.

I took my steering box apart and found a lot wrong, priced the parts out $360 and found the Bratton had a rebuilt one (exchange) with the added new needle seal installed for $400.
