Question Replacing seals in power steering for '83

Alright I'm back. thanks for all the help on the previous questions by the way.

Ok, so I'm replaceing the seals in the power steering because you'd turn the wheel and it shoot all the fluid out. I've gotten the rack out of the car and now i just need to know how to take it apart. I cant find or cant afford the factory service manuals i do find. So i was hopeing someone here has done this and can give me a step by step deal.

Once again thanks for all the help on all my questions.

Buy a 280zx Haynes Manual. They are about $14 at any parts store.

Is the 83 FSM the same as the 82 FSM? If so I have an electronic copy of it if you want it...if it is the same.

Scroll down until you see the 280zx manual. If it's TNA, then check back at the top of the hour. It changes on an hourly basis. And its free

How hard it this to do? I need to replace both mine soon, since its leaking slowly over time, but seems to be getting worse lol.
