Get the old oil out of the reservoir, remove the filters and add the oil back? then top off? sound good?

Yes.  Don't lose the wingnut while removing the filters!

Ok Dummy I is... I didnt know that the stop screw came out.. first problem and not so much a problem unless........the motor is running.. Anyone want to guess how much oil I lost?

Wow that stuff comes out fast under pressure >:(  :o .. Holy smokes its quick!!! what a mess :'(

Word to the beginner... Dont back the stops out under pressure.. check while engine is off!!!!

How far out past flush with the body of the box resulted in this red bath?  And, I am surprised that you got that far without hitting the mechanical stop on the steering knuckle.

I was on the lower one... a tad past flush is all it took lol..Time for a shower and a soak in some degreaser  lol... I need a hot tube so I can soak my parts!!

Need to refill the oil level to full after I took a shower and ate most of it...Messy stuff.. Going to be getting everything packaged up and sent back out (Thanks Lon).. the required tool saved a lot of frustration..I made one and will be sending it back to you Lon just in case you need another..(something to do lol)

Made one with all tools for pretty cheap. I made an extra for myself also. Powder tomorrow and then package them up to send out.. Thanks again everyone..

".I made one and will be sending it back to you Lon just in case you need another..(something to do lol)"

Doing the steering box again for "something to do" will be on the TO DO list right after slitting my wrists!

The puller you made looks GREAT!
Glad everything worked out and the steering box is no longer a problem, maybe better than ever.
