Subject:Leaking Power Steering Pump
From:James Smith
Date:Fri, 8 May 1998 08:54:10 -0500

Hey folks,

The power steering pump on my 86 Westfalia is leaking.  The Bentley manual has a
nicely detailed exploded view of the pump, so I'm wondering how difficult is
this to rebuild?  Anyone done it?  Is there a rebuild kit available - or are the
seals etc, really expensive?  Am I better off just buying a rebuilt pump?

Also, Dextron is the specified ATF fluid, does Dextron III replace this now?

Any info/experieces would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

(yes I did check the archives, but didnt come up with enough details to answer
my questions)
