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.
