Does anyone know where to get a rebuild kit for the power steering cylinder, other than dealer and Messick's, mine is leaking.

I would think your local hydraulic shop can source the seals for you or if your not into rebuilding it, they surely can. Everyone uses pretty much standard seal, figuring out the styles and sizes can be a little much if your not familiar with them.

Check out eBay or local hydraulic shops—I’ve had way better luck taking the cylinder directly to a seal specialist. They can usually match the O-rings and scrapers for a fraction of what a branded kit costs, and the quality is often better than the OEM stuff that’s been sitting on a shelf for years. If you go that route, just make sure you have the rod diameter and bore size handy, or just bring the old seals in for them to mic out. It’s a lot less of a headache than waiting on a backordered kit from a dealer.
