39mm Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Has anyone disassembled their power steering pump? There are two nuts on the backside. I am assuming those come off and it comes apart? Any issues like seals to be aware of?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan at larescorp Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yes you take those off, remove your pressure fitting, and the reservoir should come off. There is a reservoir seal that goes around the base pump. There is also either o-rings, or a brass seals that mount between the pump and the reservoir when you're reassembling it.

Jim Cannon Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 See your factory shop manual for instructions. "Back in the day" your dealer mechanic rebuilt them.A common problem is a leaking shaft seal. It sprays fluid around your engine compartment, making a mess. It is fairly easy to replace that seal. See shop manual for instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnulfo de l.a. Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 They are not that difficult to rebuild yourself as long as you have the right tools namely the puller for removing the pulley. I think they can be rented at autozone.arnulfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
