Greg,

The steering box and column are all one piece and must be removed together.
May I ask why you would like refurb the steering box? Leaking seals, sloppy
steering, or ???. If it is sloppy steering try adjusting the thrust screw
on top of the box first. A good choice for a repair shop is a place that
repairs heavy duty truck (i.e. highway truck) steering boxes. The AH
steering box is very similar in design and there should be shops that do
this work near you.
