I just happened to be watching the end of the Red Sox game and getting the measurements on this bushing when I saw the recent post.
ID = 7.50 OD = 8.75 length = 7.50 The bushing has a #25 stamped on it. Have not checked McMaster & Carr website yet but I will later. Attach file: ID-7_50.jpg (485.83 KB) OD-8_75.jpg (353.02 KB) Length-7_50.jpg (366.08 KB) Damaged bushing.jpg (421.29 KB)

I damaged the copper bushing in the PS pump when removing the inner seal.
I have the new seal but now need to replace that bushing. Would like to try and purchase it separately and not buy the whole rebuild kit again. Attach file: Screenshot PS-Pump.png (42.70 KB)

Thanks again guys.
I think I will order the clips for the exterior section and maybe use the adhesive on the interior. Ya'll know I am just making this up as I go. I am not going to be able to help with that small piece of reynolds wrap as I have the same problem. I think I probably put body filler over mine as well. I asked about it here several months ago but never got a response.

I recently received the sweeps and fuzzies door glass.
Does anyone know if these can be glued into place? I can get the little clips used originally but the seals do not have the holes for the clips and its going to be a nightmare trying to get them all to align and drilled correctly.

Thanks for the information.
I rebuilt this pump in the spring of 2021 with the kit from Max. Only filled it with fluid last fall. Perhaps I put the seal in backward or something. I will open it up this week and take a look before I get parts.

Thank you for the picture of those retainers and the link.
I had never seen those before so that tells me that mine had already rusted away or broken prior too my disassembly. I have already ordered 4 using two different Ebay sales. I removed the power steering pump this week to see if I could locate that persistent fluid leak. After monitoring it for a few days and am pretty sure the leak is in shaft seal, behind the pully. It could have been in a more costly location. I had already tried some leak stop but it did no good.

Question,
What holds the lower part of the stainless trim that goes around the headlights? I know there is a hole at the top and there is a small clip that holds the 2 pieces together but is there anything holding the lower part to the fender?

I believe I have the power seats figured out.
There were two problems. The first was the mounting bolts on one of the motors were too tight. The shaft would not turn at all. Once I loosened it a little I had movement. The second problem was, like an idiot, I painted most of the parts of the frame and messed up the ground. So I have to clean the paint off in a few places.

Worked on the power seat some today.
My Painless wire harness has a few spare circuits and one of them is 30 amp for an A/C. I pulled the motors off and tested them using that circuit and they worked fine. I tried turning the seat movements manually with the motors off and the backward movement was pretty tight. It may be binding where it is circled in the first image. Not sure how to fix that. I am hoping the seat frame is just a little too far forward or backward on one side. The second image shows the shaft and how far I still have to go to move the seat backwards.
