Re: {Chrysler 300} Power Steering Gear

Hi Loren,

There will be a snap ring under the dust seal. After you remove that, put a pan under the steering box and start the engine. Turn the wheel all the way to one end, hold for a second, back off and repeat. The extra pressure will pop the seal out. Be careful putting the new seal in, as you can go to deep. Use the steel spacer and snap ring as a guide.

I am Loren Nelson and my 300G steering gear is leaking at the pitman arm. I have removed the pitman arm and seal dust shield. The FSM says to remove the seal with Puller C-xxxx. I don't have that puller and don't know where to get one. I tried O'Reilly's and they don't have a similar tool..I plan to remove the seal by drilling holes in the seal and use 1/4-20 sheet metal screws pushing on the end of a brass bushing that is shown in the FSM to be at or near the seal.

My question for the Club members is this plan a good one or will I mess something else up in the process?

Thanks,

Loren
