you will most likely need acetylene torches.
i just did a 1999 grand cherokee.
remove 33 mm bolt. reinstall bolt a couple threads to prevent pitman arm from flying off. remove pitman arm. you will probably need to heat it red hot where it meets the shaft. using a breaker bar with a persuasion pipe on end helps on the removal tool. remove dust cover by tapping a flathead screwdriver with a hammer and deforming it enough to get an ice pick with a 90 degree bend under it. remove snap ring. turn steering wheel back and forth will generate enough pressure to force seal and washer out. refrain from turning wheel all the way in either direction. reverse procedure to reinstall.

How do you replace the pitman shaft seals on a 1993 ford ranger with power steering?
In general, repairing a steering gear is not recommended for the casual mechanic. Rebuilt steering gears are available at a reasonable cost. A leaky pitman shaft seal is indicative of internal damage. The seals do not usually fail without something else acting as a catalyst. You'll be far better off if you just replace the steering gear. And while you're at it, check the hydraulic fluid for any contaminants. If anything is floating around in the power steering pump and/or the hoses, it would be a good idea to replace them all since it will just cause the new parts to fail prematurely.
