The Power steering pump / vane pump on my BJ73 was 'sweating' ever since I got the truck. But yesterday I lost almost all of the reservoir in just a two hours ride.
Apparently its dripping from the flow control valve spring seat. The O ring there is finished, I guess. Time for a rebuild.
There is a sealing kit available which has all O rings and oilseals and clips in it.
But this pump had likely never been opened... And I never did such a job before. I searched the forum but didn't find a rebuild threat.
My questions
Any advice beside the repair manual instructions?
Will the seal kit do the job or am I likely to need other parts like bearings and vane plates, too? (Haven't found sources for these parts in EU yet)
Thanks foe advice Best regards
