Just about finished with the rebuild but I'm having trouble getting the 12 pt nut back to 54 ft-lbs. The rubber strap wrench from HF doesn't work well and my clamp slips. I don't have any woodworking tools to make Rifleman's jig, but I may have to figure out how to make it. Any thoughts on other approaches?View attachment 2221308
I had a massive problem trying to extract the rear plate. The other owner did something wrong in the installation. So I used a different method. I extracted the axle with the bearing thru the front. Then went to a press and used a pin to expulse the rear plate. Hope this help!once the rear snap rings comes out. remove the rear cover. the FSM recommends tapping on a table to get it to fall out. there is an o-ring on the cover so it wont fall off.
under the lid is a spring washer, note orientation.
under the spring is the rear plate. i had to tap on the desk to get the plate and rotor/vane assembly to fall out.

My last piece of the puzzle with the same noise is the gear box. The input seal (steering wheel shaft side) is worn and sucking in air. On the list to send to Redhead for an overhaul.I finished rebuilding my pump and I can't get it to stop whining, even though the fluid is not foamy at all. It's working just fine, otherwise. I'll keep driving it to see if this can work itself out. I bled it using FSM's instructions: raise front end, with engine off, turn lock to lock few times, then do it again on the ground with engine running.
I asked the neighbor to send his son to my house so he can saw the wheel back and forth while I look for leaks. The PS gear box is wet but i don't to see any obvious leaks and I bet that's my issue currently.
Cup faces the oil.The spring goes towards the fluid. Always.
This post ^^^ appears to be backwards. It looks to me like your first pic is correct install.
Did you ever find a replacement part?Pretty sure the inner sleeve is toast. Note to self, if using a slide hammer to unseat the front plate don't put it in too deep. View attachment 1030340 View attachment 1030341
@alia176, are you saying the Napa pump leaked because of the o-ring, or was that another point of leakage?
