2007 is a JK, totally different gear box. In fact 2003-2006 use a different gear box too. Basically the same process, but you can access the lines on the box by simply removing the sway bar cover. As for bleeding, you can simply jack the front end up and turn the wheels all the way left and right WITHOUT starting the engine... this helps prevent fluid starvation if you don't keep close eye on the level while bleeding.

Video is years old but still relevant. Noticed the box leaking and contemplated taking it to a shop. Now i see this is really something i can do myself. Thx!

Whenever I’m doing a job and you have a video about it I feel a lot more confident doing it. Good video

Great video. I’m a novice and new to Jeeps. I noticed my power steering box is leaking. You made me feel confident in doing this myself.

Thanks for making this video clear and concise, Brian!

I have an '05 TJ Rocky Mtn and the steering has been an issue for a while now. It only has a 2" lift, 32" KO2's with 22lb alloy baja rims. Not even 70lbs total with the tire and rim. I have the Currectlync tie rod and drag link, Fox steering stabilizer and M.O.R.E steering box brace. I know these Mercedes gearboxes are not as good as the Saginaws but would it fail with this modest set up? I had the gearbox tightened between an 1/8 - 1/2 turn about a year ago. It helped but went off road recently and now the steering is starting to get a bit sloppy and wonky again. It has never leaked any oil that I know of, I'm the second owner.

I laughed pretty good when you used your leg, I have done the same thing many times. But love the video, it saved me a ton of time and headaches.

Thank you for this great video! As soon as the parts come in, I’m going for it. Hella appreciate the help!

Great video!! Thank you for providing this. It was very helpful.

Wow so fast and easy earned a subscriber

The new input shaft flat spot doesn't align exactly with the position of the old one. Do I turn the new input shaft slightly? What will be the impact on the pitman arm alignment?

Great video, I like how you show that milwaukee tools are a time saver. I do that in my videos as well

When the Pittman arm puller starts bending get the torch it doesn't have to glow red just start smoking a little to get it give up but this is extreme cases. Like a last resort.

Best how to video. Super job man!

Best video I have seen on this yet! Thanks

Awesome Vid.. You got mad skills :) I got a ZJ that I need to do and I'm sure it's the same procedure.

Just did my steering gear box. Takes two people to do it. It’s heavy to handle. But can’t find a single video on how to fix the backup light switch on side of transmission. Impossible to get to or unclip the plug.

Great video. But I can't seem to find the link for the tool needed. Would you send me the link. Thanks

Where do you buy a new steering gear box? I live in Miami Fl Thanks

GreAt video keep up a good work 👌💪

Thank you!

I was looking at buying one that comes with a pitman arm attached, so would it be easier to remove the arm from the drag link instead of the box if it's already attached on the new one??

Is this a Milwaukee commercial? My DeWalt work pretty good

Thanks!

Big thanks for the very helpful video. Can I ask where you purchased the orings for the power steering lines?

If you bought a new steering gear, the new o-rings should come with it.

Mine is a 97....is it the same steps or is there something different? Thanks

Hi ! Nice video ! What is the socket size for the pitman arm nut that connects to the steering box, thanks?

If I remember right it is a 1,5/16 And if you don’t have SAE Sockets a 33 mm should work

I i stalled mine on my 00 tj and i tried your bleeding method and it does not work. I also got a vacuum bleeder kit and i am getting air out but it seems like its air locked. Tonight i am working on it again and going to break the lines and try to get the air out and try again. Any suggestions on what to look for

Your comment is super old at this point but for anyone else who comes along and reads this thread--you're supposed to fill up the PS reservoir to the fill line, then turn the steering wheel lock to lock 10-15 times BEFORE starting the engine, and then top off the reservoir to the fill line again, THEN start the engine and lock to lock another 5-10 times or so, then check fluid again and make sure there are no bubbles.

Thanx a bunch-helped me out a lot:)

Service data doesn’t even provide that information and that’s something you pay for

nooo. everyone knows you break the lines loose before anything. as someone who works on rusty jeeps all the time I would know. and secondly if you don't unbolt the steering shaft first you wull hate yourself later. and if you cant hold the gearbox with your muscles maybe you should have someone else do it.

@dennismilligan6000

Hey big shot. The whole idea of lowering the steering gearbox is to get a wrench on the lines. 2000 TJ this is necessary. Disconnecrt the steering shaft not necessary.
