Ford Repair: power steering pump, gentle persuasion, power steering pump


Question
1992 Ford Taurus,3.8V6. How do I get the pump apart. The pulley is off, it is off the car, and the filler housing is off the pump body. Looks like a ring on the inside of the housing holding it together. Maybe I need a special tool. Bought a seal kit with o-rings to fix leaking.

Answer
the housing is held on by the big fitting that the pressure line goes into-there is probably two o-rings on that fitting be sure you don't cover up the holes in the fitting when you replace them-once that fitting/nut is off the housing will pull off pump with gentle persuasion good luck.
