I remember reading (somewhere) that your average Joe can rebuild either the power steering valve assembly or slave cylinder, but I forgot which one (one of the two takes unique tools or superior skills...or something like that).

Has anyone rebuilt one of these things out of their garage with success?

I rebuilt the control valve for my '66 using the rebuild kit that NPD sells. I don't remember it being too difficult. I just used basic tools and a torque wrench. I took alot of pictures as I dis-assembled it so I would remember how to put it together.

I did the same thing. It was relatively easy, just make sure to take pics, I didnt and had to figure it out again. I ended up alright and the steering works great but wish I had some idea on exactly where everything went.

Was this simple and did it come out decent?

Rebuilding the valve is easy if you follow the instructions that come with the kit, supplemented by the shop manual.
