I am still working with my current ps box and my next issue is to replace the shaft seal on the upper shaft where the steering coupler connects. Can someone tell me how difficult it is to replace this seal (box mounted in the car) once I have the steering coupler off and out of the way? I would appreciate any pointers before I start on it. Thanks

That sounds fairly easy but I did not see the seal on the NAPA websight. Hopefully I can find the seal without having to pay for the entire rebuild kit (50$). Thank you for the reply. I was not sure if it was at the end or if I needed to pull other items out of the end before I got to the seal.

I will call my NAPA store and see what they can find. I have already changed the lower seal and maybe this week and can get the steering column out of the way. I found this kit on the Autozone websight if NAPA can not find it. Thanks again.

""I pulled the column out of the way, and it wasn't hard to do. I used a small flat screwdriver to pry the old seal out. Then I packed a little tissue in the opening while I steel wooled the shaft near the seal surface.Tape up the splines so they don't cut the new seal, and remove the tissue and install the seal. I used a socket the drive the new seal with."" Thank you for the pointers. It has been a few years since I pulled the wheel assembly. I now have the seal kit shown above in the last reply. I don't remember if I need to pull the steering coupler apart or not before removing the steering wheel assembly. Could someone clarify? Thanks

I replaced the seal today and everything went smooth. The seal was a pain to dig out but the new one went in fine. Thanks again for the pointers.
