Rebuilding Steering Box
Got a couple of leaking steering boxes that are sitting around. Since I am pretty much done with the rover, I thought I would learn how to repair them. There seems to be varying degrees of rebuild kits out there. I don’t plan to do major overhauls- just replacing seals I think.
Atlantic British has a cheap 3 seal kit for $22 but there are ones on eBay that have quite a few more parts to them. Which should I get?

The steering box rebuild steps are covered in the workshop manual. I bought a whole set of parts, including that little nylon tipped seal set screw that costs over $20 by itself. That was on my first truck, so I was in learning mode, and PS fluid was everywhere. The procedure is easy enough, and I learned how it all works, and the adjustments (it takes a touch).
For my second truck I left it alone because it was more effort than I wanted to spend, for little benefit. I just put new hoses on it, and it's been great. It really depends on what you want. Read through the manual, then decide.

This is $489 remanufactured with no core charge. Has anyone used them?
The seller lists them on this webpage as for the 2003-2004. Are steering boxes different between the 1999-2002 and 2003-2004?

I found this on BAP
Pump and Box
Is there a clear "Better" Remanufactured/Refurbished supplier?
Don't want to buy used as the supplier can't be sure it wasn't leaking before it was taken out of the donor truck.
