Hi Ed,
I recently replaced this seal on my BN2. Yes, you can remove the
steering lever with a puller such as the Stahlwille #12616. It is a very
compact but powerful puller. You don't need to move the box or remove
any bolts. Once you remove the arm, the seal can be hooked out & a new
seal tapped in. Make sure that the arm goes back on so that the steering
gear is centered.
I filled the steering box clear to the top with gear lube & not a drip.
Really pleasant for a change.
