Can steering gear worm seal be removed in car?

Thanks Redfish. Just got home from work.

When I did the pitman seal it was a mess, but it all went into a 5 gallon bucket I wedged in there. Wasn't sure what to expect but figured it was worth a shot!!!

The thought crossed my mind to drill a hole and use a screw. I like your idea of flatening the screw tip to help draw out the seal.

I'm afraid it's a little more than just dampness. Not a drip, drip, drip, but a drip......drip. I must say though, when I picked up this car about 8 years ago the undercarriage was in tremendous condition. When I replaced the torsion bars a few weeks ago, I was able to pull them out of the lower control arm by hand.

Odometer shows 115,000, but we know how that goes.

Are you thinking scoring in the shaft? I replaced the pinion seal, and the control valve seals a couple years ago.

I'll get out there tonight and look closer at the seal.
