Hi,
I just got a remanufactured power steering pump. I also purchased a used OEM pump for a spare so if the remanufactured unit fails prematurely, I have a refreshed OEM pump as a more reliable spare. I want to have the used one rebuilt proactively so I have a perfect OEM unit for the future. I want it to last like a new OEM unit.
Does anyone know a good place to have it rebuilt? I prefer near NYC, but will ship it anywhere ultimately.
I'd even send it to a good, solid CL member with experience and skill in this area of mechanics.

No, I do not want to do it myself. ;-)

Any Ideas?

I saw that and after going through it, In thought it would be better to have a pro do it. I didn't want to risk a leak taking out my new Mechman high output alternator thats going in.

Thank You

I just did mines this weekend and it was pretty easy.. cost me $22 for the rebuild kit.. trust me its dead easy if you have those tools listed...

I was tempted, but I'm just not set up for that. We live in a small NYC apartment with few tools and white carpeting. My wife discourages any car parts/jobs in the apartment. Seems a vice would be helpful as well. I surely do not have one, or the other tools necessary. A member here offered to do it for $100 including the kit. I am likely going to do that unless I find a someone in NY to do it (save on 2 way shipping).

Thank you!

if you have the tools, you can do that in the bathroom or in your trunk. lol. its really that easy. but i understand. if you can save a little or a lot, you should. mechanics charges too much these days..
