Dwight, sorry I did not respond to your question sooner. I just got back from my short week long vacation in Guam and am slowly covering ground in the forum.

Actually it was not that hard at all, after calling around and getting quotes that are currently not on the "Do-able list", I decided what the hell. I have to use all those tools I have been collecting all these years!

I looked at the CD procedure and figured half the day. After reviewing Benzmac's tip, I decided that was the way to go, removing the front half of the pump and most of the guts while leaving the back half in the car. If you knew how to do his method already, it you take you 1/2 hour to remove the pump, then another hour to rebuild it. Without knowing how to do it, triple the time.

I actually got 95% of the job done before dropping a little bolt down the power steering hose (bottom of P/S reserviour) and into the pump! Damn did that make me feel stupid! I had to complelely remove the pump with mounting bracket and tear the pump apart, this time replacing one larger O-ring I had not done prior. I can now do the job pretty fast if I had to.

Best of all, not a single drop of P/S fluid leaks! Now I have the Air Pump to consider.

If you need the whole run down, let me know, I will try and give a blow by blow recall so you avoid any setbacks. All in all, I thought it would me much more difficult, just plan having the car out of commission for extra days if you need additional parts or run into setbacks.
