Dazsw Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Got a leak so need to get another ps pump. I see you get rebuild kits but that's the kind of job I hate. Does anyone in the club do this kind of thing? My plan is getting a second hand pump, get it rebuilt then it's just a case of getting it fitted. Thinking of doing a recon on the alternator as well as it also has to be removed the change the pump I believe. Thanks, Daz. Quote
Joely P Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Are you sure it's your pump leaking Daz? It's common on these for the pressure hose to leak from the swaged fitting right next to the pump. Quote
arthur Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I've changed the power steering pump & did not need to remove the alternator? As Joel said, I also had to change my high pressure hose after! Quote
Stephen Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Front of the shaft has a seal IIRC that can leak. Mine was pouring out of the resivoir line, no longer a Nissan produced item. Quote
Dazsw Posted January 5, 2017 Author Posted January 5, 2017 Pretty much all the hopses have been changed, some twice. With the pump being 25 years old I think it's best just to get it rebuilt, no matter the condition after 25 years it will not be perfect, any more hose issues could be dealt with at the same time. I read another few posts where It said taking off the alternator helped with access, you guys know better though :) - - - Updated - - - I have rebuilt two now successfully. Fancy rebuilding another? :) Quote
