Anyone had experience in rebuilding the power steering assist system on a 350B? I'd appreciate hearing about your experience.

I've done it. There is nothing to it. all the seals and o-rings are standard. Just make sure to set the distances on the cylinders according to the manual.

I would second that, only thing I would add is check the bore on the cylinders, I had to hone mine to get out a small layer of rust.

Thanks. Both good suggestions. I picked up two rebuild kits at Pape Machinery in Sacramento yesterday (along with a replacement muffler -- ouch!).
