I just put stop leak in mine, and kept filling it. I would not leave the house without power steering fluid in it.

It's fine, who needs PS fluid. LOL

BTW is your house that big?
It is not how high you lift it, but how you lift it high.

Don't add stop leak. It only displaces the proper fluid and will not help a wasted seal.

There is a lock ring, dust boot, and then the seal. You'll probably have to drill a couple of small holes 180* apart to help pry it out.

It's not hard to do, just get off yur ass and git 'r done.

I think there was something with my pump, it was a few years ago. That Jeep peed it like it was free.
