Rebuild power steering pump

The Napa # is 7-153. The same kit seems to be for both the Eaton and Saginaw, as I had some seals left over when I finished with my Eaton rebuild. I guess it's cheaper for them to throw in a few extra seals rather than inventory two different kits.

That's still a good Napa number.  I ordered one just a few weeks ago, though the local store didn't stock it and it took four or five days to get.

If you damage the main seal when installing it (very easy to do) you can get another from O'Reiillys for about $5 or $6.  The O'Reilly's one is easier to install as the rubber is more pliable, but the metal shell is thinner so you have to be careful not to bend it when you hammer it in.  I went into some detail about this on a thread a couple  months back, and I think the O'Reilly's part number is there too:

That's funny. I checked it the other day and it came up then yesterday it didn't seem to exist. That's why I started the thread. I guess I'm just not searching for it correctly. Thanks.

So I'm hearing the pulley will be close enough not to be an issue. I think I'll just install the good Saginaw I have for now since I need to get this car moving as soon as possible, and I'll rebuild the Eaton pump later. I'll let you all know how it goes. Now I have to find all of those bolts for the brackets. They're in one of about 20 coffee cans in the shop.
