I bet the FSM has that procedure.

Wait, you don;t have an FSM?

Gee, why is that?

Manual steering is straightforward. Power steering, you should have a manual, it's WAAAY more complicated.

Seen this several times but never tried it.
Copied form another site.

You need a pitman arm puller. Remove the nut and pull the pitman arm off. Pull the snap ring below the seal. Start the engine turn the wheel to the stop. It’ll blow the seal out. Clean the pitman shaft with scotch brite as it may be rusty. Find the right size piece of exhaust tubing to drive the new seal in. Reinstall the arm.

Let us know if it works wink

I've done a few like this. It works.....you may have to slip the arm back on and set the car on the ground to make the pump really work. Put a pan under it because it'll make a mess!
