3 drawn cup needle rollers for sector
use two 12 mm depth top cover and upper sector, and go Heavy Duty with a 16mm roller down the snout of the case in the bottom.
to answer your question.
The box needs to come apart.
but this is the simplest "complex" system in your car... its a weekends work the first time about 6 hours the next....i've done a few now... Import costs US to UK is now too much to bother. cheaper to buy new for me
steering box rebuild...if i can do it anyone can, small sector manual box
Manual steering box rebuild - Mopar Muscle Association UK
advice on needle bearings as well go for the bigger one in lower position...more support
do it once do it right good for another 50 years...
if the box has been run in a car with a UJ instead of a sliding pot or rag joint column coupler expect the worm screw cages to be smashed, get some of them as well.
needle rollers x3 for sector
caged ball bearings x2 for worm screw
do not accidentally buy japanese Metric bearings with similar part numbers when looking for needle rollers...
sector seal
worm seal.
look up seals via part number not via car model rockauto has had them listed wrong against all mopar models in our chosen era since about 2006 they will send you a seal that would fit a cofee mug....and have you tried returning anything to them !!!!!!
michells autos / MMpar.com used to have new old stock sectors...if you need one, phoneing and asking is your best bet it won't be cheap but you will never need to buy another.
