Re: KevinAZ's power steering pump rebuild

actually i was thinking you would more put smoke around it too make it look like a witch's brew, but either way still funny.

i finally had some time yesterady to start taking the pump apart. as you can see my "brew" pretty much makes waste of anything built up on the part for 60 years. even maintained most of the original black paint on the reseviour.

Kevin...i have to say this has to be one clean pump. the bushings are so beautiful and clean. i don't think this unit was used much and was maintained very well. even the rotor unit was beautiful.

as to that big clip that holds the bearing and shaft in....what a joke. this is only the second one i've seen and both were worn down from the bearing rubbing. this clip wont keep the bearing in place and thus, i believe will wear out the housing eventually. the new clip i used on mine and will use on this one will not allow that to happen.

i put the parts back into the dunk tank to clean out all the holes and and the such. the rebuild kit should be here today and i will go from there.

also know...some of my blood is in this one....next will be my sweat and tears.

enjoy.

Hank
