Steering Box question
I just pulled the steering box out of my 1966 vert. It is covered with caked on oil and crap. I think the seals are going in it but I am not sure.
I have been scrubbing the outside simply to get it clean enough to handle and work on without coating everything in a layer of grease.
I am thinking about soaking it in a 5 gallon bucket with some degreaser, like I said I think the seals are going. Would soaking it be a horrible idea and just about guarantee I need to rebuild it?
Any input is appreciated
