SLIPPER SPRING REPLACEMENT
(1) Remove the pump and bracket from the vehicle.
(2) Remove the bracket and reservoir.
(3) Remove the pump pulley (Fig. 5).
(4)
Use
a
center punch to mark the position of the
front insert and spanner nut in the pump housing (Fig.
12), to insure that the front insert and spanner nut
are returned to the exact same position at reassem-
bly.
(5) Use a '/4 inch drift to loosen and remove the
ipanner nut (Fig. 13).
(6) Support the pump housing so that the front
insert is clear of press and using a smooth
Y 2
inch
diameter bar (Fig. 14), press the shaft, rotor and front
insert out of the pump housing.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the pump rear
bearing.
(7)
Examine the parts for broken edges or deep
scoring, especially on the rotor and slippers. If either
of these conditions are present, then the pump as-
sembly less relief valve, pulley, and reservoir must
be replaced. Small nicks or burrs may be smoothed
with a fine hone.
NOTE: The cam insert has two machined notches
(one large and one small) on the inside surface;
these are not to be interpreted as deep scoring.
(8)
Smooth off burrs or corners on the pulley end
of the pump shaft, this will prevent shaft oil seal dam-
age when a new seal is installed.
CAUTION: Do not stone or emery the area on the
shaft that the seal lip contacts.
(9) If all parts are in a serviceable condition, dis-
card all eight slipper springs even if they appear to
be in good condition.
(10) Thoroughly flush and clean all parts with
clean
solvent.
NOTE: It i s essential that cleanliness
be
observed
throughout the pump assembly.
