OK, I've just done several searches and have been schooled on box rebuilds, leaking, and cornhead grease. That line in my signature about being a VW guy? Here's another example of the differences. I'll head to HF later today to get a pitman puller and get 'er done.
Thanks for the counsel.

A VW guy trying his hand at a '59 LB fs. Lots to learn, but it's about the journey.
