Power steering pump is leaking.. weeping out of the pulley spindle..

Anyone got instructions on how to change?

The bottle/res o-rings look easy to change and I will change them too but I believe this is the seal on the front of the pump.

Have ordered one and it is in so hoping to change it tomorrow.

Cheers for any pointers

Mine has a similar leak. It's not the bottle as that's been changed - very easy thing to do I'm just ignoring the other leak for now, as it's not too bad. Did you get a new pump, or a new seal for the old pump?

May be worth investing in a couple of those brake spanner things (the ones with the nice hexagon ring with the split in it - sorry too early in the morning for descriptions ) for doing the pipework removal - they don't wreck the fittings like normal spanners can.

The workshop manual has a nice exploded diagram in it, but that's about it.

Dave,

Yeah I have seen that exploded diagram..

Mine has covered the middle section of the cam cover with steering fluid

I am hoping it is like a crank seal.. remove the pulley and pull out old and push the new one in.. but I doubt it will be that simple..

Hoping I won't have to remove the pump from the car..

Thanks

Simon

 

It is that simple. Undo nut holding pulley on, pulley pulley of spline, hook seal out with pick, push new one in.

Thanks again Paul.
