power steering pump rebuild (1 Viewer)

[Christopher Fidler]

I have a leaky power steering pump and would like to have it rebuilt, does anyone have any suggestions? There use to be a place in west TX ( maybe Midland Odessa area) the would rebuild both the pump and gear box for a very good price.

thanks in advance

How bad is your power steering leaking? I have a power steering pump off of an 83 fj60 with less than 150k on it. I can't swear it doesn't leak but when it was pulled there was no signs of leaking.

FJ60 power steering pump rebuilds apparently don't hold up - Toyota used a non-replaceable bushing, not a bearing, on the shaft. FJ62 pumps can be rebuilt, just did mine last year. There's a thread here on MUD with details, including how to source the bearing, I used the Suzuki motorcycle bearing (K9204-51292). The AutoZone kit I used (8760) was good quality. And you'll need a Toyota snap ring (90520-15005). So if you have an FJ62 you're in luck.

Replace with a Saginaw and never look back.

We're talking about the pump?

Yep, my bad. One leads to the other!

And there was a pic-by-pic pump rebuild thread but I can't find it

Not my experience, almost 2 years later and no leak. Lucky I guess.

FJ60 power steering pump rebuild question

 

[Spike Strip]

Is it the PUMP or the Steering Gear Box that's leaking?
