Not much to a rebuild. Bearing, shaft seal, some O rings and the filter are about all that is changed. Unless the pump has run dry or grit or dirt got in the fluid there is usually very little wear. If the steering works well in the car now, the rotors and shaft should be in good shape. The pumps look identical but there is a difference between a pump used on a Monroe vs a Bendix system. There is a slightly different pressure relief valve setup because of the higher pressure needed on a Monroe system. Higher pressure pumps have 900 stamped on the pressure out port. If something happens and you need something in the valve section be sure to get the correct items for the system you have.
