While I have the engine out of my '28 I was going to pull the column and steering box as it has been leaking (of course). I have a seal kit for it. I have already pulled the steering wheel and light switch. Stopped just before removing it from the frame.

I haven't driven the car very much but I haven't noticed any issues with the steering. I was really going to do this to replace the upper control rods bushing, clean everything up and try and limit the leakage from the box.

I am not opposed to diving in but is there anything I should look at while I have it out to determine if I should be doing a deeper service or complete rebuild?
