How do you rebuild a power steering pump on a 1991 Toyota tacoma V6 Engine?

Answer 1

It is usually more time effective to just buy a rebuilt one, but if you have time/want to save some money. You would first have remove it from the engine, which is the hardest part. You will then have to disassemble the pump. There is a large snap ring that might give you some trouble, but you should be able to remove with a small chisel/pick/screw driver. You can install the rebuild kit's seal and reassemble, then re install. There is a rebuild write-up on the "yotatech website" to help guide you through it.

Answer 2

My advice would be to replace it with a rebuilt pump and not attempt to rebuild the one you have. The difference is cost is not that much. Just go to your nearest Auto Parts Store and buy one.

Answer 3

You don't. It is way less expensive and quicker to just buy a rebuilt pump and install it.
