I think you should read the post above from https://www.steelsoldiers.com/members/mccullek.112024/ as he seems to have figured out the right parts application hack. I just broke down and got a rebuilt unit after my lost cause.

I confirmed with Dorman they don’t have a kit I was able to find a rebuilder that had a core in stock and is going to build and send it to me. Ill post details after that’s done. I did see where a fre rebuilders said I could send it to them as well. Also on Gov planet there is a lot of 36...

Just ran a chat session at Autozone - while that part number is on the website, the chatbot there said they do not actually have a service part for that application.

My local Autzone just told me there is no actual record of that Duralast kit in their system and nobody I can speak to confirm if it exists or not. To be fair, the guy at my local Autozone has as much experience with parts and cars as I do rebuilding steering gears. I sent a contact form on...

Looking at the GATES homepage - they don't show a seal rebuild kit application for the H1.

Not Dorman - Duralast per Autozone is a 9217. When I look up the Gates kit 350440 it fits a huge variety of full size GM trucks/vans. I haven't cross referenced a Gates to an H1 yet. We might have just gotten a mismatch on the kit.

Here is how it went. I first took the gear and washed it as well as I could assembled. (these photos are out of order). My shop is set up with a Ruko box on an old TV that makes watching videos handy. I put the remote in a zip lock bag to keep the grease off and it works great. I found...

Trust me. If it can go wrong it will go wrong with me. That’s how I roll. Always the hardest way possible it seems.

FAIL! Didn't go well for a number of reasons. First, the rebuild kit number came with the wrong size input shaft seal/bearing/dust shield. I was able to read the number off the old seal and found one for $7 at Napa under part numver 27SS2188. The bearing was okay and could have be reused...

Holy cow. I’m not going to lie here, this is intimidating Got the gear off the truck. That wasn’t so bad. Tomorrow morning I will be watching YouTube and jumping in picked up a better pair of snap ring pliers today and a new pitman tool as mine has grown legs and disappeared

Just ordered a kit with that part number and watched some videos. I think I can do this. It is worth a shot.

That’s awesome. Any special tools needed?

Finding the same as others - the under $250 ones out there...are not out there anymore. I'm checking with the re-builders now too. I see new ones are out there at $850 or so a pop...but that's not going to work right now.
