Thanks Roger!

I wonder if I really need to worry about the wipers/felt anyway. If I replace the inner seals, there shouldn't be anything to leak in the first place out the wiper seals other than disk brake grease. And after all, it's only a slight amount of gear oil that leaks out after months of being parked. I think I answered my own question! Back together it shall go!

I really didn't want to mess with the steering arms until I upgrade to hy-steer. I was going to do that fairly soon, but I FINNALLY got around to tightening the adjuster screw on the old push/pull gear box and it worked wonders. Plus I tightened up a drag link end as well. I can't tighten it any more though becuase the ball is worn on the J-arm. I have a basically new replacement J arm ready to go, but I will end up doing hy-steer eventually. I'm not gonna clean off all that crud on the knuckles, fight with rust, stuck cone washers and tie rods, only to put a J-rod back on.
