American Motors: 68 AMX PS Pump, power steering fluid, o rings


Question
Do I need any special tools to disassemble and "re-neoprene" part of the PS pump. I believe that I have a leak between the resevoir and the pump itself.

Thanks!

Answer
Steve,
You should be able to remove the pump assembly and replace the "O" rings without a special tool. Be careful not to bend or score the housing. Do not use any sealer between the components. How ever, lubricate any "O rings with power steering fluid during reassembly. Get a couple cans of brake cleaner to use during the surgery. Don't over torque the bolts. Hope this helps.
