Power Steering Pump Information Needed

[cjtpb13]

I am in search of whether or not there is a rebuild kit available for the power steering pump. On my pump I know a model number and that it is made in the USA. However there is no marking of any type as to whom the manufacturer was anywhere on the pump that I could see.

Does anyone know the original application of power steering pump used ? Have seen none listed in the parts cross reference nor seen any in my searching of the web.

Its saginaw, it came from the gm parts bin.there are places that can rebuild these pumps in the uk.

Darren,

Thanks. With your bit of information I have managed to find a bit more. If a GM part I am sure to source it and rebuild in my garage a lot quicker than sending out and back to the UK.

Now a matter of discovering the proper rebuild kit

Sorry, didnt think to look where you are! Well im sure the parts will be available readily somewhere. Although im sure a few owners will have new spares ftom the factory sale last year or so. I bought a spare last year, just fitted it as my original began to leak a little.

tracked down the repair kit. Will list the information as soon as I have the kit in my hands. Turns out that the parts are fairly common.

The rebuild kit is as follows, was a total cost of $ 31.07 USD, and about 3 hours in the workshop with a 20 ton press plus numerous other tools.

I took photos along the way of dismantling and rebuilding and will post those sometime in the future in the Steven's technical forum
