I rebuilt my gearbox sometime back. Bought a rebuild kit from St. Charles w/ all the gaskets and o-rings. It really wasn't that tough of a job save for getting the steering-wheel shaft off of the geargox. Prolly took about a total of six hours....driveway job. Worse thing was handling the worm gear with kid gloves, if it comes apart, well....we don't want to go there. Well, now as I recall, the worse thing was getting the @#$%^& pittman arm off of the sector shaft........really stressed my puller.

You really need the Helm manual for this as well, it explains and diagrams step-by-step. Chilton's and Haynes......worthless.

If you decide to do the job, index EVERYTHING so it goes back together the same. Watch out for paint/rust flakes.....read: KEEP EVERYTHING CLEAN.

Total cost for the job was probably around $50.00 US.

BTW - '91 Trooper LS, should be the same gearbox.
