Im changing out my power steering unit with one off a the same jeep with way less miles on it ,, Got the O-ring style & all the lines have been takin off,, now I have a coupler that the rubber is torn so Im replacing it with a new entire unit ,,Figured since I had everthing torn apart & I dont want to have to do it again,,, Is there grease inside of this unit?? http://i10.ebayimg.com/08/i/001/64/e5/6572_35.JPG

That's commonly referred to as a "bell-joint" and yes, they are generally greased... not packed completely full, but enough to keep the squares inside the bell lubed.

All right I got it all apart after being rained on & installing A hydrolic unit on a freinds dump truck(told him he should have gotten it ready before he needs it).. So dose the ball with the pins that hold the square things screw off the Double D shaft?? As the new rubber is no way going over it (Ive never had that problem before)  ,, 
And should i replace the o-rings on the hose's with new ones & where should I find them??..
