Hello all, My 85 has developed a steering leak at the pitman shaft seal, bad enough now it empties the reservoir inside of 2 miles. Replacing the seals seems pretty easy, if I can find the parts, but I lack a few things. A socket large enough to remove pitman shaft and I'm guessing by hand no impact it will b...
