Inspired by Cruiserbrett's rebuild thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/353899-fj62-power-steering-pump-rebuild.html, I've started to photograph the tear down of an FJ62 power steering pump - first rebuild of any kind I've done. I'll add to it as I put it back together. I've skipped removing the initial bolts as that is pretty obvious - soaked the bolts in some Kroil to get them out easily. Once those are off, the reservoir comes off with a little pulling.
Apart - be VERY careful not to drop or bump the rotary vanes - they come out EASILY.
If some of the vanes do come out ... !@#$ ... and if you still have one in, you can see the wear pattern and put the rest back in ensuring they are facing the same way. I can't remember where I read it, but i remember someone saying you'll have issues if you put them back in facing the wrong way.
