Dengie Boy Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I have a 1987 V8 Rangerover Classic and my power steering pump is leaking from the shaft, otherwise its ok. I've taken it off the engine to strip it down and replace the seal, but it looks like a sealed unit. Has anyone replaced the seals before? as I have seen pump repair kits for sale.

steve_d Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I've done one before. When you remove the large hex fitting on the side the pressed metal housing comes off. Be very careful though as there are some springs and plungers inside which if you put back in the wrong way round result in the pump not working........ask me how I know. I repaired mine just with a box of mixed size O rings. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dengie Boy Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Thanks guys, any idea which pump this is? There seems to be a few different types and I want to order the right replacement seal kit as I dont have a box of mixed size O rings.

Dengie Boy Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Right, I've stripped the pump down but cannot figure out how to remove the cog from the shaft, without using a big hammer. Any idea's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 You bring the shaft towards you (in the picture), remove the ball bearing then the shaft can go away from you and out of the housing. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dengie Boy Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 remove the ball bearing Steve Now thats the bit Im stuck on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Now thats the bit Im stuck on Seem to remember I whacked the shaft on the edge of my bench with a strategically placed bucket below. If you are really stuck I see no reason why you can't drill a 1/16" hole through from the other side and drive it out with a punch (nail).
