Ye mate simple job to be honest. The main one is watching the Teflon rings don’t get buggered when reinstalling. Had to get a replacement out for mine when I snapped one.

These are what the seals looked like prior to the rebuild. Snaggy.

Steering box rebuilt. A few snags on the way but all sorted. Will get it back on the truck after I’m done with the rad, water pump and belts.

I just find it easier and it’s peace of mind. To me, and I’m not mechanic (as can be clearly seen in this thread ) but if I’m getting the OEM bolt or nut I know it’s the same spec as the one Toyota put in there. In some instances I think it’s safe to assume the bolt is intentionally the weakest...

What you on about? That’s mint condition. Ready for Facebook marketplace haha

Some images of how it’s going….

I’m hoping to get some time this weekend to give it another crack before I’m away for a bit. If I don’t get them off now it’s going to sit for a while so last chance saloon or they are getting the chop.

For me it’s probably a combo of being a snob for OE bits and peace of mind that makes me go for amayama or a Toyota branch, the local Toyota branch for me have been sound. But you do pay out your hoop which is getting boring so I’ll probably give up on that at some point haha
