ahing6 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 My power steering pump is leaking badly. Last time i took apart one was 15yrs ago and i know for sure there is a large O-ring seal sandwiched between circumference of inner body and top part of pump which sit's in a groove of top section. Thing is i can't remember how i manage to separate the top section with shaft/bearing & pulley from the pan like body. Has anybody done this in recent times? Will appreciate any tips so i don't end up mucking up too much of it. Sadly i gave away all my extra pumps . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Pretty sure you have to remove the mounting points from back of the pump, and then the tank comes off. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahing6 Posted April 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Yes that's it, remove bracket and studs then thread in 2 bolts. Lay the pump on edge face down preferably on 2 blocks of wood and tap on the 2 bolts and out it comes. Thanks Bean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 So was the tank seal the culprit? It looks like a common GM style pump - is there a readily available reseal kit for it? Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahing6 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Yes it was the very large seal. I just went down to our local marine supplier with old square profile seals and matched what was closest to a wide selection of O-rings. And yes it's GM design so it was easy to find a U tube repair video, here's link to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5JTghafe8s&t=2s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
