Restoring my SLS on 300TE

Alrighty!! Next project is SLS I think. Transmission is done, all Suspension is done, A/C is done...what is next?? SLS!!

I started a thread a few years back, and the consensus was that the SLS pump seals are probably bad.

Symptoms in short:
  • Has NEVER worked since I owned the car since 2006 @ 63k miles. Never had ANY issues at all though with it not working so it hasn't really bothered me and that includes hauling 4 house moves worth of heavy stuff!
  • Does not raise rear with weight
  • Manually moving SLS valve does not raise rear
  • SLS fluid IS flowing as I removed return and it was moving
  • No leaks in the system

Firstly, I plan to replace both rear accumulators as they are toast (part # 140-328-05-15)
. The rear end is bouncy, or at least ONE is dead. Sticking with Corteco or Genuine MB, depending on price difference.

Questions:

1) Are there any places that sell the tandem remanufactured vickers pump without spending astronomical amounts of cash? (Part # 124-460-15-80)
I understand there is a seal kit, but I'd need to buy a spare pump to do it with and I am not sure if after all of that, if its just easier to buy a remanufactured one anyway ya know?

2) Should I worry about the SLS Valve or leave it be until I have replaced the pump?

3) Any hoses OTHER than the reservoir->pump line to concern myself with?

Parts already have and/or replaced:
Cleaned SLS Tank fully
Replaced Return hose to pump (was on its LAST leg literally!!)
Have new reservoir filter
Have new SLS Fluid to drain, flush and refill.

Any help or suggestions on this?
