Sgtplatt Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Not really it's just a basic vane pump. You could get a rebuild kit and change the seals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgtplatt Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgtplatt Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 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. Len. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
