Hey all, just signed up today. I was searching for some info on replacing the power steering shaft seal. I have an 89 BII that has began leaking right behind the pulley. Before I take it off and start on the shaft seal I thought I would ask and see if anyone that has done it has any advice. It would be nice if I could replace that seal without removing the pump from the truck but I doubt that will happen. The pump is quiet, just getting a thin line of fluid slung up along the washer reservoir and on the underside of the hood. Should I get the kit with all the O-rings and seal, or just buy the seal by itself? Thanks in advance!

 

I don't know much about rebuilding these little guys but if you're going to be pulling the reservoir it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace any seals that you can due to age and wear and tear so you don't have to pull it again.
