Saginaw Power Steering Pump Rebuild | Fixing leaking seals | GM style

[@80Tamiya]

thankyou. just rebuilt pump on my ZK Fairlane. Your video made the rebuild a dream rather than a nightmare ! cheers mate.

[@Shanes_Shed]

hey no worries. Glad to have helped out

[@omarpatino4230]

This is such a great tutorial. I’m about to do mine without knowing how, and I ran across your video. Thank you.

[@Shanes_Shed]

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment as well, greatly appreciated

[@pierrececile9611]

If one had to rethread the shaft to be able to scew in the tool to drive the pulley, what size would it be ?

[@Shanes_Shed]

I believe my one is an 10mm thread, but it wouldn't surprise me if some early ones had an imperial thread rather than metric

[@pierrececile9611]

@@Shanes_Shed thank you

[@ExecMoose]

Mate, mine just started a solid drip from the front seal, and I was stressed there for a while. So glad I came across this video, I really didn't want to buy a reman pump, and I didn't know how to re seal mine.

[@Shanes_Shed]

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad that the video helped you out.

[@jeremiahdonaldson1678]

Great stuff. I just replaced this thing on my daughter's car and the rebuild was bad, so going to re-rebuild the rebuild myself.

[@Shanes_Shed]

Yeah I've had my fair share of redoing previous work before myself too.

[@quinlanz92]

Gotta be careful, sometimes the rebuild fails because the housing was scored along a sealed surface, and no amount of replacing seals and impellers will fix it

[@JamesRKing72]

Exactly what I was looking for. Great video and instructions! Thank you.

Made it look easy mate thanks.

[@Shanes_Shed]

No problem🫡

[@FatKayakAngler]

Awesome video. I appreciate the help

[@Shanes_Shed]

No problem 👍

[@gustavomulhall]

thanks for your video. It helped me well. There are 4 holes on the front side, 3 are used for the bracket. Can you tell what the 4th is meant for? (it's been a while since I took it off the car and I don't remember. I also don't see any indication on the parts book or the workshop manual...

[@Shanes_Shed]

These pumps where used nearly everywhere back in the day so it wouldn't surprise me if they are all for brackets - kind of like a universal fitment but different manufacturers used whatever bolt holes suited them

[@kerlioclassics6440]

The one on the bottom right has a shallow hole for an external bracket

GDay on the barbie Mate nice

[@Shanes_Shed]

G'day and thanks for the comment

[@thesetruths1404]

Do you know if a 2005 GMC Yukon power steering pump is rebuildable? It is not leaking, it simply stopped working good at low RPMs (below 800rpms, like at stop lights. It works fine while driving at rpms above idle/800rpm. Thanks!

[@Shanes_Shed]

No idea, I’m not really mechanically familiar with those.

[@alcidesvillarroel6622]

Mui bien el trabajo

[@marshallmills7860]

What did you use for lubricant?

[@Shanes_Shed]

I just use the same oil that you would use in the power steering, in this case dex III ATF

[@marshallmills7860]

@@Shanes_Shed Thank you Mate. Great video.

[@KRTube75]

Make sure the pulley is on the correct way. I had to get out the giant 3 jaw pulled to fix my goof!

[@Shanes_Shed]

At what point did you realise you put it on the wrong way? Hopefully not once it was back in the car and you where trying to put the belt back on.

[@MasonMiler-e8j]

A c-clamp would make things a lot easier

[@Shanes_Shed]

For which part? My memory is a little hazy of doing this job - its been a while since I done it. Might have to go back and rewatch my own video!

[@domingoernestofernandezpad8028]

👍👍👍👍💪💯

[@danielesilvaggi]

I think you should have changed the bushing as it should not be that tight for the shaft to go into it, mine was nice and loose with the new one. Ah you probably already now this as this video was about a year ago.

[@Shanes_Shed]

Still running with the same pump as I rebuilt it in the video.

[@gordblackwell5007]

Not bad overall but my neighbor just bent his pulley thinking he was to remove the pump before pulley. Now he's in for a $100 CAD replacement part and 3 day wait. Sorry to say, but you miss important details for the beginner. Like you often need to remove the pulley BEFORE removing the pump from the bracket. And you skip taking a few pieces off/on. The devil is in the details, there are more concise build vids out there.

[@Shanes_Shed]

these units where used everywhere at the time - there would be numerous mounting methods so I've covered the application that I have - which the pulley can be removed after removal from the vehicle. Surely it doesn't take a genius to figure out if you need to remove the pulley before or after.

[@felixinoa8599]

I DID EXACTLY THOSE STEPS, AND DID NOT WORK GOING TO GET A REBUILD PUMP NOW, BUMMER

[@Shanes_Shed]

That’s a shame, was it working ok before hand?

[@felixinoa8599]

@@Shanes_Shed yes it was, just a small leak at front seal, just put a re build pump 5 minutes ago, literally...

[@kenkayiii]

If you flipped the CAM cover over (upside down) ...pump works CCW instead of CW.... Most pumps come rebuilt for CW rotation, except GM L99 and LT1s,,, Pump won't pump when rotated in the opposite direction...

[@satunou]

it couldn´t be more amateurish .

[@Shanes_Shed]

Best compliment I've had all year!
