Rebuilding PS pump?

[Ozz]

The car is a '92 5.0.

I've got a new PS reservoir and am putting a new pulley onto my PS assembly, but need to know how to do it. The new case came with some rubber O-rings as well.

I know I need a special tool to remove the pulley, but how does the reservoir disassembled from the whole unit? Anything else I should replace while in there?

YOu do need a power steering pump puller/installer for the pulley. Not sure on the reservoir.

 

[Ozz]

Yea, I already know that much. It's the reservoir and sealing it correctly that I'm worried about now Also making sure not to bust anything on the way.

 

[Ozz]

Are there any other pieces that fit in there?

Pulley, bracket, reservoir. That's it?

Go to a Ford garage and get their pulley removal tool. It is a special pulley remover and others wont work. The aluminum braket just unbolts from the resevoir

Mine had a 3/8" tapped hole in the pulley. I just screwed a bolt into the hole & the pulley came off.

Does the reservoir attach to a pump or something else that's on the bracket? I haven't had it apart yet and don't know what to expect. Hence my questions here.

But from looking at my new reservoir, I can't see how it attaches solely to the bracket.

i think most of us get a reservoir included with the new pump, so that is probably why not many know how the reservoir attaches (my guess anyhow). good luck, Dave.
