Power steering pump shaft seal leaking.

[Sgtplatt]

Hello all,

 

Now I have my 4wd working, and all brand new brakes, washed, cleaned, and light trail tested, I found my power steering pump is leaking.

 

Does anybody know if it's possible to replace the shaft seal, or I'd there is more complicated parts behind that seal? That is definitely my leak, I just need to make sure that I can repair it before I start tearing it apart.

 

Thanks all,

Len

Not really it's just a basic vane pump. You could get a rebuild kit and change the seals.

Sorry. Is that a not really I can't replace it, or a not really there's nothing behind it?? Thanks for the input, I just think I'm 1 drink past fully understanding the answer.... Lol..

 

Thanks,

Len

Got my pump out and apart. Very simple design, advance auto sells the rebuild kit for 15$ with my commercial discount.

 

Parts will be in a couple days. It was the shaft seal that was bad. I could have just changed that, but I couldn't find the part online without the entire kit.

 

If anybodies interested, the part number for the seal was

NGK AEO816F

 

In case anybody else wants to try and just change the seal.

Thanks for the update and the part number.

Any interest in posting a few photos of the disassembly/process?

I mean it's not hard to do as you can see.
