Hi,

I have a friend who has an s10 Blazer that I do maintenance on and has had a leaking steering gear box for a while now. I had suggested her to purchase one and replace it but wasn’t able to until now due to low funds. She was finally able to purchase it and asked if I would replace it for her. I’ve never replaced inter before but would love to learn how to and as well as help her too. Can someone guide me into how to go about replacing the power steering gear box?

Thank you

Hi,

Because of the model year, the directions in the manual are extremely vague. I did, however, attach them below.

Regardless, here is a link that I feel will be much more helpful for you. It explains how one is replaced, shows pics, and in general, is more informative.

Let me know if this helps. Also, let me know what I can do to help.

Take care,

Joe
