Hi,

HELP!!!!Smile

has anybody re-sealed a power steering pump.
ive bought the kit , im going to look at it this week end. just wondered if i need any special tools or i need to make any tools before i start.
my vette is a 79 L82.
 
just an explanation here as to why i bought the kit and not a new pump.
im located at Newcastle upon Tyne,  UK
so the postage cost is low for the seal kit rather than ship an exchange pump.
anyway just thought id explain.Embarrassed
 
all assistance greatly appreciated as always.
 
even if you tell to go and buy an exchange pump!!LOL
 
cheers,
redborderreivers        ( Brian)
