Re: KevinAZ's power steering pump rebuild
Posted by Cli55er On 2012/4/4 11:50:51
i started taking Kevin's steering pump apart last night. that lid sure was welded shut with all the gunk. had to heat up the rim to get it to finally pry off without damaging it.
you can see the filter has been there for a very long time...its all rubbed down on the side that was sitting towards the pump, even rubbed through the metal cage.
i have it soaking in my nasty looking cocktail of grease and purple power degreaser. stuff works a charm, but looks gross. one day in that stuff and the grease and dirt will wipe right off. i'll probably keep it in there the next couple of days. although fyi...one could leave the part in there for a very long time without it rusting. i had my timing chain in that stuff for over 6 months and it came out looking like brand new.
more to come
