Power Steering Pump Rebuild

[Foxlovescars]

Guys:

Who have you used in the past to rebuild your power steering pumps that you were satisfied with the results? Would like to use an individual that is dependable, has good communication and completes the work when they promised it.

I too have used Lares for both steering box and power steering pump rebuilds. Good people to deal with and Paul Lares the owner is a classic car enthusiast.

Is this work possible to do yourself? I'm writing from Germany and I think it is too expensive to send it to the US.

Can you say anything about the refurbished in Ebay??

Thanks

Rob

ps. it is a Riviera 1966 build in Flint and issued in Swiss in 1966!

You might be able to do it yourself, depending on what is wrong with the pump. The most common problem is seals, especially the shaft seal. You can certainly do that yourself.

Thanks for all the great replies. I called Lares and they do the whole rebuild, cleaning, repaint and testing for $89. Can't beat that. Turnaround time is 2-3 weeks. Easier than the headaches of properly rebuilding it myself and everything will still appear original.

Thanks,

Frank
