Power steering pump rebuild?

Post by dan_2k_uk » Mon Sep 28, 2015 8:28 pm

Anyone got any info on rebuilding a Vitara power steering pump?

I've tried to google for a while looking for a guide and parts and came across a seal kit but they only seem to be available in the US.

Even just the size and spec of the input shaft seal would be handy as that's what I think is leaking??

Cheers.

For refrence the seal is a NOK AD0750F and isn't too hard to change.

The reccomended replacement I've found is a Timken 221730.

The lack of response to this makes me rethink my vit ps swap. Might try a Jimny PS box instead...?

I'm using a Jimny box. It's the pump that's Vitara.

Ah, that's (maybe) my plan, although I don't have a jimny PS box at the moment. I have a full vit setup.
