    Can a '89 power steering pump be rebuilt by average mechanic? Just wondering.
    Thanks, Troy

    Cheaper and quicker to get one from a wrecking yard.
    Grounds, Grounds, Grounds Replace them things.
    Divorces, Great Coffee, and Electrics, all start with GOOD Grounds.
    Where are my grounds ?

    Did you ever try rebuilding it?

    I was thinking of trying it on mine providing the junkyard doesn't have any pumps I can buy...
