POWER STEERING PUMP PULLEY REMOVAL AND OVERHAUL

[pontiacsteve22]

What kind of tools are needed to remove and install the pulley on the power steering pump? Also has anyone replaced the O-rings and seals on a pump? Mine just leaks but it works fine. Thanks in advance guys.

Make sure the hoses and fittings are not leaking. Most of the time the leaks come from the area where the ends are crimped to the rubber. There is also o-rings on the fittings.

The only special tool needed would be a power steering pulley removal tool. They are fairly cheap and some places loan them.

Thanks Yea I replaced the pressure line and it still leaked.Also under the pump and reservoir its kinda oily, gotta be the seals? What is the best way to spot the leak, I checked while the car is running and cant see anything, its kinda starnge with the belt and stuff spinning, worried about losing a finger or something

The best thing to do is get some cleaner ( simple green, purple power etc) and clean it really well. Then monitor and watch it over the next couple days and see where it is coming from.
