Power steering pump...multiple failures (1 Viewer)

[Metal Illness]

I have a 1989 HJ61-12HT. The seals on my ps pump started leaking. I took it to my local shop for a rebuild. That rebuild didn't hold. I ordered a rebuilt unit from a known parts house and that unit failed (leaking), too. The parts house replaced the unit and the new unit lasted about 6 months. It has now also failed - not leaking but not pumping fluid.

My local shop is suggesting we replace the Toyota pump with something more common - GM or? Has anyone had any experience changing an LC to a different brand pump?

I appreciate any help/info offered!

Cheers!

Apparently, it won't work with the 12HT. As mentioned, I've tried two rebuilt pumps.

Maybe contact West Texas Off Road for a rebuild.

Of course new would be best but if NLA this place has a good reputation.

Subscribed. I'm watching this thread to see what works for you. I have wondered if the saginaw pump would, or could be modified to work with the 12HT (or in my case, 2H). Please post up if you get something to work.

Will do.

Really if there is anyway to mount the Saginaw that’s the ticket. Cheap, available and reliable.
