I replaced the power steering pump because was leaking six months ago and now the steering gear box is leaking.
How I removed the steering gear box in four wheel drive?

Good morning.

Not easy on the 4 wheel drive.

I also attached a youtube video for you to view. It is the same as yours just a different model.
