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) Jamie 86 Westfalia ======================================================================= LEGAL NOTICE: Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged.
