power steering pump got noisy,,,,, rebuiltable ?

[Kneale Brownson]

I don't think there are any bearings you can replace in those pumps, Denis.
  The bearing surfaces mostly are bushings, I think.  The repair kit
includes a bunch of O-rings for use throughout the pump and a new seal for
the shaft behind the pulley.   The manufacturer says if the shaft is
scored, the pump should be discarded. Your Bentley should have a write-up
on resealing a pump.  Replacing the front seal sometimes helps reduce the
noise.
