OOPS ! Help please.

Well, I guess there may be very few people with shop manuals out there. Or maybe the folks on this group don't work on their vehicles that much? Anyway, here's something others may find useful. It's a link to the best online information I've found. ;)

p.s. Still not done. :(

Finally done and in time for the Super Bowl too. :)

For anyone needing to rebuild their power steering pump I'd say your best bet would be to use the above link and follow the directions exactly. When I finished I had a couple of "O" rings left but, since I didn't dismantle the sub assembly used to "idle up" I expect that's where they were supposed to go.

The hardest part, for me, was getting at the bolt that holds the tightening adjustment. Fortunately I had a "gear wrench" in 9/16" (14mm for those with more tools than I) although the type with the hinged joint on the ratcheting end would have been even better (note to self: splurge).

My advise for anyone with moderate skills is: "Go for it". Just take it slow and keep everything organized and clean. And good luck.

Thanks for the tips and follow-ups. The link you posted didn't come up on google and no link on his main page. Good info there, thanks for posting. davidj92

Sorry the link didn't work for you. Here it is again in case it didn't copy to your computer correctly the first time (? ;( ) :

I just clicked on it and it worked so the site is still up. Good luck.

Dennis, The link worked, what I meant was if you go to his home page:

is no link to the page with the pump fix, just pictures of his truck, I think. Sorry to be so confusing.davidj92

I see what you mean David. I think you're being directed to

and the "ps-pump.htm" portionhas been left off automatically. If your computer won't send you thereperhaps you can add the ps-pump.htm in your search line (after the / ofcourse) once you're at the main page. dennis in nca

Thanks
