Default Just replaced steering box seals now having issues

I have replaced the seals on the input shaft and pitman arm shaft on my steering box, now I have major issues first of all the steering is really loose in the middle it will turn 90 degrees each way without turning the wheels its really sloppy, second it is really hard to steer to the right left is fine but no power turning to the right and is stiff. I took the steering damper off to see if was that but it's still the same.

I have had my jeep on jack stands and turned the steering from lock to lock for 5 mins at a time withe the engine running and without the engine running (wife's complaining the whole time got her out helping)
I havn't had any air bubbles out in a while. I tried a second steering pump from my parts jeep it worked fine.

Now I am scratchin my head does anyone have any idea''s or been through something similar ?
