Power Steering Pump Removal & Replacement
#21
One thing to keep in mind for the people refurbishing their PS pumps is to take care to let the small vanes keep the position they are already in (either mark them when removing them or use tape to old them all in place.)
I didn't do this, and the result was that my refurbished pump failed after a couple of months - i suspect the failure mode was that the vanes no longer slide freely and got stuck in place, reducing the overall pump pressure.

If you have a small 1/4 ratchet its actually quite easy - there is actually plenty of room to ratchet it back and forth in there (you just have to locate it by feel).

I removed mine without marking them when i took out the shaft to replace the seal - i suspect that was the reason it failed after, since they didn't slide as freely in their new homes, leaving some of them to eventually get stuck, reducing the pressure.
