Coolest way to change steering box pitman arm seal

[Giveitawack]

I have read about this method to change the pitman arm seal. Thought I'd give it a try.
1. Remove the nut
2. Pull the arm off
3. Remove the dust seal
4. Remove the lock ring
5. Remove the washer
6. Then for the cool part... Put a pan under the steering box, start the engine and turn the steering wheel as far as it goes to raise the pressure. I heard something pop. Turned the engine off and checked the seal. Sure enough, the seal had popped out!
Thank you, whoever it was that posted this earlier!  You saved me a lot of time!

I've heard that one too.  The only problem is that you can only do that with a running car.  It doesn't do much good on a bench.  I just drilled a very small hole in the seal and threaded in a sheetrock screw.  I pulled it right out with a pair of plyers.

Sweet!     Great info! 
Mine is leaking too but I decided now would be a good time to upgrade to a firm feel box.

 Yeah, great info, never would have thought of that. I went with FF at seal time also. Kept the 1970 core though as they are getting kinda rare.
