the helm is pretty easy to rebuild. a seal kit for it was like 20 or 25 dollars. i helped a friend rebuild his in about 30 minutes.

was it a h51? any problem areas in the resealing of it i've seen that they are "not for the do it yourself guys" what ever that means
thanks

thats the same diagram that the kit came with. you should not be afraid of it. we didnt need any special tools or anything. just be sure to have something down on your table because its going to have fluid in it.
