Consult a FSM for detailed instructions.

1. Remove power steering fittings from box.
2. Remove pitman arm.
3. Knock roll pin out of coupler, loosen column and slide back.
4. Remove 3 bolts holding box to k frame.

That's it I think.

Depending on headers, how much room etc you may have to jack engine up to get the box out.

5/16 punch pin is what I used.

While you’re replacing the box, you should look at the Borgeson box.

@dadsbee swapped that seal without removing the steering box. Search for his thread on this subject.

O yea it’s got a Hemi.‘looks like the starter, exhaust manifold and the torsion bar have to come out? Don’t think I can remove forwards? The radiator, PS pump battery tray? Still might not b enough room?

Here's what I did, took about 2 hr's. Also this was a 70 B body Hemi engine.
1 removed battery for better access.
2 disconnected both fluid lines.
3 push out pin out of coupler, lowered column and slide back.
4 removed the 3 - 12point steering box bolts.
5 removed driver's side tire and the rear rubber cover to help see
the top starter bolt to remove the starter.
6 remover the bolts for exhaust manifold
7 when removing the manifold had to wiggle the steering box to get
the manifold out.

Hope this helps some out out.
