Well - to update- I got the car home and all is well. It drives beautifully once again. No leaks! Everything that was told to me here, he said the same thing. The huge bolt that had to come off and the puller for the pitman arm, etc. Strange, there was an "extra" seal in the package that he could not find the old seal to replace. I suppose it was deeper in the box? ALL of the seals, save for that outer seal were in good shape. He showed me the old seals. He said oddly, the seal did not harden and crack, but it got very flexible. He showed it to me and it was as loose and soft as a jello.

He ended up charging me $50.00 - which was worth it to me not to have to crawl under there, search for tools, fight the grease, etc.

Many thanks again to all!
