    Nice machete.
    I just did this to my Jeep Cherokee Classic '06 and I couldn't have done it without this video.
    I ended up removing the other end of the pitman arm because I didn't have a puller on hand and my jeep has a brace that makes getting to that bolt difficult.
    Also, removing the air filter box makes getting to the hoses and the steering linkage a lot easier. My bolt was facing up on the linkage.
    I saved $350 because of this video. Thanks.

    everyone uses the durango, but I also have a box rebuild video if interested. I've never had problems with the xj box!

  • @bleepinjeep
    @bleepinjeep  11 лет назад +1

    Ive never had any real problems with the stock box but many people have said they like the upgrade. As for me I just tapped mine and will do a hydro assist soon.

    I got a Dodge Ram 3500 quad cab with duellies but the setup was exactly the same. I gotta say bud, you are a life saver. I've been fighting with some old school tools but it looks like I had things pretty well right. Just need to upgrade on some stuff to get the job done. Thanks much bub

      Awesome video Matt. Anyone that owns a Cherokee that does their own work would appreciate any of your videos. I have leaky seals so this will help me a bunch when I do the job. I was very surprised to find the rebuild video. Your friend Matt is quite knowledgeable with attention to detail.

    Matt: Replacing steering box on 2000 cherokee. The triangular mounting bracket is broken. Do you have a part number and where it can be obtained. Your videos are great.

  • @l337pwnage
    @l337pwnage 11 лет назад +2

    Generally I like to hit the pressure washer first, makes it a little less unpleasant to work on. ;)
    I wish my power steering box bolts came out that easy. I had to heat up the nuts/nutserts/whatever they're called between red and white hot and hit the bolts with the impact to get them out.
    That was after I learned the hard way on one of them that you DO NOT want snap them off and try to drill them out.
    Oh, mine is a CJ, so it's a bit different, no aluminum to worry about melting. ;)

  • @FatGuyCantSing
    @FatGuyCantSing 11 лет назад

    Definitely should upgrade! Have you looked into swapping in a durango box?

  • @bleepinjeep
    @bleepinjeep  11 лет назад

    I have found if it wont slide off then unbolt the gearbox completely and pull on the gearbox itself... seems to work pretty good.

  • @dhpuls
    @dhpuls 5 месяцев назад

    Good suggestion, disconnecting power steering hoses at the P/S pump! I didn't do that and put a nick in the o-ring on the high pressure hose while struggling to get it connected to the steering box. Initially it worked fine, but a few blocks from the house I lost all my power steering fluid!

    Hey Matt..!
    Awesome channel..
    Question..
    Would a bad steering box cause a xj to wonder when driving at highway speed..
    Everything in the steering system is new..
    Thanks..!

  • @alachabre
    @alachabre 11 лет назад

    Good advice. I'll be working on the steering box on my CJ this summer, so I will keep that in mind. On the surface, the CJ job looks a lot simpler than this, here's hoping!

  • @bleepinjeep
    @bleepinjeep  11 лет назад

    well make sure it is the correct steering box first. also they are keyed so make sure the gear box and the pitman arm keys line up.

  • @ironearl69
    @ironearl69 Год назад

    Good afternoon, very good video...thanks for making it. I am rebuilding a Saginaw power steering gear box with a large 76 embossed on it. I was told it was for my 1977 Jeep CJ 7 with a V8. My question is that upon disassembly I only have 22 ball bearings. I did a bit of research and some folks are saying that International boxes used 22 bearings, but do you have any knowledge on this? The 76 stamping on the case I believe is correct for my CJ 7.

    • @bleepinjeep
      @bleepinjeep  Год назад

      im not positive but it must be so if thats what you found... just put it back like you found it, thats what we always say!

  • @kevinselwa8883
    @kevinselwa8883 11 лет назад

    Thanks for the video. I replaced my gear and am having trouble getting the pitman arn on the new gear. Using a breaker bar to tighten the nut, arm will only go on halfway on the new gear spline. Hammering the arm doesn't help. Any suggestions?

  • @skl1cent
    @skl1cent 9 лет назад +1

    can you do a video on common spare parts that you should carry even for someone who doesn't offroad? I carry a small tool box in my jeep always with all tools that can repair anything easy on the jeep. But I'd like to see what all spare parts you would carry around that can save you money and possibly a tow bill.

    Should I be able to turn the input shaft on a new box about 3 inches before the output shaft starts to turn? Its a new box, and I've also tried tightening it to no avail. Should I return and get another box? Everything under the hood is new, no play and 2 alignments.

  • @andybehlen
    @andybehlen 4 года назад

    My steering shaft wouldn’t slide, just like your’s. How did you install it to the new box? I’m scared to beat on it with a hammer.

  • @janascott6085
    @janascott6085 4 года назад

    I am replacing my sons steering box. He hit an immovable object, which damaged the steering box. So now, the steering wheel is 180 degrees off (basically upside down when the wheels are straight). My question is this: Before I replace the box, do I put the steering wheel straight or the wheels? Any advice would be super helpful.
    Thanks

    Matt, I don't know if my steering box is good or bad. I recently picked up a 99 XJ with 221 miles on it. It likes to wonder in the lane on the highway. No noises, shakes, clunks, etc. but I have a dead spot in my steering wheel from 11-1 which makes driving sloppy. Any suggestions?

  • @autotek7930
    @autotek7930 3 года назад

    I just got a 2000xk sport and it turns maybe halfway to the left..... the kid I got it from knows nothing about it before he got it. Any idea what someone did? I figured the pitman arm is keyed and really only goes on one way ...I know for sure I need to get another steering column and fix all 4 fenders coz the cut the pinch weld off

  • @bleepinjeep
    @bleepinjeep  11 лет назад

    first you should check the things I go over on the death wobble videos, even though you dont have death wobble you could have something loose down there. after youve checked all that then the last step might be tightening your gearbox. Ive got a vid coming out soon for that.

  • @23BigWillieStyle
    @23BigWillieStyle 8 лет назад

    Not all of them come off easy but don't give up! After soaking in PB blast for 4 days and breaking a ratchet and 2 $15 pitman arm pullers I rented a $97 puller from AutoZone. Should have just done that to begin with. Initially it didn't work, tightened it pretty good and whacked it with a splitting maul multiple times, but after leaving it tight overnight I tightened it as tight as I could with a breaker bar and continued to hit it with the splitting maul and it finally came off.

  • @katiehall9948
    @katiehall9948 10 лет назад

    i have an 98 jeep cherokee. I have had a death wobble sense last spring. Sense then i have replaced inner and outer tie rods, upper lower ball joints, hub systems, rotors brakes, sway bar stabilizers pins and bushings, also steering dampener, and still have a shake. the gear box and control arms is all i have left. how do i know which one to replace?

    • @katiehall9948
      @katiehall9948 10 лет назад

      bleepinjeep there off my firebird. 215 75 R15 Fire Hawk slightly shorter than the recommended 225 75. They only had about 3 thousand on rotation. I also forgot to say i had an alignment done by Firestone. Not positive on the balancing. When i replaced my ball joints i had the tires put on and it seemed fixed just like every other time i replaced something. Shortly after, the shake in the steering and the wobble in the tires makes it way back.
      I have a small oil leak out of my filter that has been dripping onto the passengers side upper control arm. Well lubbercated through out the years.

    • @zavektv9754
      @zavektv9754 6 лет назад

      Sort of, if your steering box is bad and causing you to have slack in the steering, THAT can cause death wobble but there is more than one reason you could have slack in steering.

  • @TexasRedneck

    I think I need to get a steering box brace. Do you have any metal bracing for the steering box for support?
    I went out wheeling and I was trying to turn the wheel and I couldnt turn it at all. I was flexed out pretty well. I think my box is going out.

    hey man, I'm currently swapping out my gearbox on my 2000 xj with a 99 durango box and i can't get my steering linkage on the input shaft of the new gear box. i don't want to force it and fuck up the splines, is there a trick to this? or do i just suck.

    • @nayrlloyd
      @nayrlloyd 9 лет назад

      Nick Makiney How do you like the 99 Durango box? I just put one on my 90 YJ and the steering has virtually no slop. However, it's about 10x harder to turn the wheel. It's not as bad as no power steering, but it's definitely a pain in the butt to turn now. Since I made the swap, I've read a few places that the Durango box is actually a downgrade from the YJ box. Any comments?

    • @skateorganic
      @skateorganic 9 лет назад

      I'm loving the durango box. my stock box had so much slop, turning with this ones like night and day.

    It took me two hours, 15 adaptors, 13 trips to the part store, an impact drill that didn't even budge it, and a 100lb torque bar just to get the damn pitman nut off from the box/arm. Now my impact isn't strong enough to get the pitman puller to pull off the arm. Wish me luck. This 7 minute video of looking like a 2 day project for this tiny little 4 foot something, 110 pounds lady. 🤣

    I recently wrecked my jeep into a fence, not much damage just needs a new fender and maybe a steering box? I was wondering if anyone could help me and tell me if the seals broke or the entire steering box. As soon as i wrecked i backed up and power fluid started pouring from under the steering box and the steering started to get alot stiffer to were it was taking alot of my strength just to turn the wheel. The box itself looks fine no cracks or anything just that leak. Can anyone tell me if i broke it or just broke the seals would appreciate any help thanks.

    why not put on a 98 or 99 durango box?? why put the junk plate back on??? You probably have enough scrap in the shop to make one!! Why chance the cheap made "brace" on the trail. Sometimes its hard enough without a break down that could have been avoided. I really dont mean to criticize but I don't know of another way to phase it.

  • @bleepinjeep
