Finished rebuilding my power steering pump. I got the pump from a member here on FABO. The pump was complete, but I discovered a few small dents on the housing. After disassembling and cleaning, I removed those dents on the housing and repainted it. The Edelmann rebuild kit I used, seems to be of good quality and also included a new bushing. The bushing, which was originally installed, sat too deep in the shaft bore and had some burrs. I decided to remove it and install the new one. Warming up the housing with a heat gun and putting the new bushing in the freezer, before installation, makes this job easier. I also marked the bushing, so it eventually lined up perfectly with the oil groove. The blades on the rotor also need some attention - round side pointing outward. That is more or less the only tricky part, the rest is Lego for adults.
BTW, I kept the old bushing. If you bend it open a bit, in combination with the steering wheel lock nut and a thick washer, it's works great as a upper steering column bushing driver.
