Power Steering

[mckenzig]

To bring everone up to date I have bought a 1986 model with the 3S_GELC motor and auto. It came at a bargin price as the power sreer pump was noisy and left a pool of red when parked. Today I have removed the pump and will start looking for a exchange or replacement component. Any help in this respect would be appeciated and also in respect of relacement.

How do you get the pressure side of the pump tight? Do you do it before you put the body in place as it would be difficult to see after. Im sure someone will have had some experiance with this aspect and will save me some problems.

Hope all have a good festive season and don't collet any presants from the road safety enforcers.
