Power Steering Pump Needs A Bath - Any Suggestions?
I took the Power Steering pump off to replace the rubber lines and this thing is in need of a bath real bad. I'm sure a degreaser of some kind is going to be the answer. Other than plugging the holes, should there be any other things I need to watch out for? What have you done? Any Suggestions?

Re: Power Steering Pump Needs A Bath - Any Suggestions?
Don't get any water in it. if you do make sure you dry it very good before using it. Mositure is the worst thing on a power steering pump.
Make sure it's pumping. I would take it and have it cleaned and tested at a hydrolic shop.

I think it's CPP has new PS pumps on sale for a X-Mas special $39 plus shipping. At that price you could do that, borrow a pulley puller from one of the chain stores and swap out your clean brackets.

That is for just the reservoir at CPP. You still have to use your pump.

Re: Power Steering Pump Needs A Bath - Any Suggestions?
You can get a complete reseal kit for your pump from the parts store for about 10 dollars. It's a very easy project to reseal one. This is one I did for Scoti and powdercoated all the parts during the job...
  Remove the old front seal with a drywall screw...  Install new seal...  All reassembled with new seals on reservoir and fittings...

I've been so busy building hay trailers that I haven't been doing any powdercoating lately. I'm gonna be covered up until the winter is over and folks quit buying hay before I can do anymore.
