For anyone else out there with stiff steering.
I had been struggling with stiff steering at low speeds for a while and it seemed worse going into parking spaces in one direction.
I replaced the steering damper which was bad, but it didn't improve the steering effort.
This past week, I pulled the steering pump and followed the rebuild instructions in the KB. It was all fairly simple. The hardest part was fiddling around trying to get the pulley off the pump in that narrow front-of-the engine space.
Anyway, I'm now running again with proper power steering.
$20 worth of 'O' rings versus a $400 rebuilt pump was a great deal.
