[s-cars] Power Steering Pump Leaking

[Ivan Demkovitch]

Strange... Without o-ring just placing halfs to each other I wasn't able see
any light in between. Got some special edition pump I guess :-)

Not my intent at all.  But, the pump is leaking in the center   
because it
has worked loose there, and will leak again after all this work if you don't
securely mate the two halves together before tightening down the bolts ,
because the bolts are not strong enough to ensure the halves are joined
evenly around the o-ring seal with just some X-tightening scheme. The only
scare I intended is take it easy if you do use a hydraulic  
press
as the smallest press is many times more powerful than needed, and keep your
fingers out of the way.


Tom  I prefer to do the job only once, and I hate pentosin leaks.
