Seams like this job should not be too hard. I picked up both seal kits for the top and bottom and a new high pressure hose and a three jaw puller.
Going to soak down all bolts with PB Blaster and let it set up for a couple of days. Clean, primer and paint so it all looks purdy when done.
I understand there are some bearings that may fall out when I pull one of the seals and am not quite sure where they are. Which seal, bearings are these. Any tips or tricks on this job?
Thanks.

Got a picture in the seal kit? The only two things you gotta watch are,
if take the shaft out of the ball nut, well, theres a lot of balls that will fall out. Try to take it apart in a pan so you can catch them. It's not a hard
job after you get the box out of the truck. The other thing is it's heavy
and it's gonna be slippery, so don't drop it on yer foot.
