Rebuilding a power steering gear box

Ive seen the kits online... Anyone done it and are they easy? Any special tools? Anyone got a write up saved on doing it?

Thanks!

I have a link to pre 63 steering box rebuilds, I think it should help even if there are differences.

You could also think about the Durango steering box upgrade.

I replaced mine last summer with a rebuilt box from AutoZone ($128) and it's been working well.
