Power Steering leak

I posted this on the truck forum, but added here to see if anybody on this forum can give some info. Thanks.

My truck has power steering connected to the worm gear box (as opposed to a slave cylinder or R&P set-up). It's leaking PS fluid from the bottom shaft (sector shaft?) where the pitman arm attaches. Is this seal a part that I can replace with regular shop tools? Or is it time for a rebuilt gear box (Advance Auto wants $170 for a rebuilt gear box)? With the new motor and freshly rebuilt tranny, I've got zero leaks [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] ...except for the PS. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_bicker.gif[/img]

Does anybody have a parts break-down for the box that shows the assembly sequence?
