Not for me. That thing weighs a ton. Not something I want to be lying under as I guide it back onto the steering column. Replacing the seal with fluid dripping on your face isn't fun but better fluid than a steering box on my face. Might be a different matter with have an extra pair of hands helping you from above. And you'll really have fluid flowing when you release the pressure and release hoses. Then you have to bleed the system...

I'm pretty sure you need a steering box locking tool if you're going to remove the steering box. You can make one by sharpening the tip of a ~40mm long M8 x 1.5 bolt.
