I got the top off the power steering pump. Just had to give it a tap or three. Now I see why it felt like it had a spring on the end of it. It did have a spring on the end of it. I also got the rest of the pump apart and I called Kanter's and ordered the rebuild kit.
I also ordered that rubber boot for the gas pedal from Kanter's. They were half the price. Steel rubber does not even have them listed but I all know they would not be cheap. I goofed up a couple weeks ago and ordered the VW boot for $3. The website did not give any measurements for that boot but I figured it could not be too much difference. That boot turned out to be the size of a silver dollar and maybe a 1/4 inch thick. So, don’t do what I did.
I put the whole car up on these crib stands today so I can get under there and tighten down the body mounts. I will never use jack stands again. Fortunately I already had the scrap wood to make them. Have you seen the cost of lumber lately. I saw a 15/32 plyboard (4x8) for $56 each.
