[V8] Leaking Steering Pump

[Ron Wainwright]

I think you can get a rebuild kit from our very own Scott Dewitt.
 But I've never done it before... I've allways just went in my parts stash & got another pump.
 Removing the pump is a one wrench job... @ least for me.

 Crack the three bango bolts so there loose.
 Remove the two 10mm bolts that hold the rad fan & put the fan out of the way.
There are 4 13mm bolts @ the back of the pump, you'll need a ratchet, 13mm short socket a swivel & an extension or two. & there are three in the front.
 Then remove the three banjo bolts completley & pull the pump out into the void were the rad fan was...... piece of cake.
 

 & as Ingo noted... you need a tool who's name escapes me @ the moment.
 You hit the top with ahammer while twisting said tool.
