Hydraulic Pump Rebuild

[Derek Pulvino]

Hey gang,

Pulled the pump out yesterday and started trying to disasemble the pump to
replace seals.  Had a real hard time with the x-caps.  I had a drag-link
socket, but I was unable to secure the pump well enough to be able to turn
the caps out.  I went searching a bit today, hoping I could find a
"phillips-head" shaped drag link, but I think I was dreaming on that one.
Somebody suggested bolting the pump back to the car, but in that case you
can't get at most of the caps.

Anybody have any suggestions on how to work around this problem?  Just
force?  A new pump is 280'ish...280 I'm not really ready to spend right now.

Derek P
