That winch plate looks like a nice spot to mount the light bar.

That's what I'm thinking also.

Got my hands on some more parts this weekend. All my steering stuff and a Bfg that was well worth $100

Anyone know how hard it is to rebuild a cj power steering pump?

Can't be to bad.

I thought the gear box was bad not the pump

what all does rebuilding a ps pump entail? I would think it would require a new pump vane and bearings? what else is there in there?

DanStew · Feb 2, 2015

With those "canned ham" pumps it is just easier to get on from the FLAPS instead of messing with the rebuild.

250f4life · Feb 2, 2015

I meant steering box sorry. It's leaking. Looks like $50ish for all new seals or $180 for a reman that I've read terrible reviews of.

It's cake to rebuild.

Have you done one Nick? I'll order the rebuild kit right now. I just didn't wanna waste the money on the rebuild kit then have to buy a box because I ruined this one.

250f4life · Feb 3, 2015

Well in an attempt to save some money I'm going to rebuild the steering box, I got a rebuild kit from napa using this part number.

VOLT · Feb 3, 2015

Yep I got mine from NAPA also.

are you going to put bearings in it or is just the seal kit? i'd check for wear on the teeth as well.

I'm not sure Joe, I'll check every detail of it while it's apart. The owner said it just had a small leak. Prob go ahead and get a new pump while I'm at it.

meaders · Feb 3, 2015

Gotcha. Maybe that seal kit is all you'll need

VOLT · Feb 3, 2015

I would be a buyer for that stock pump and anything else original working or not. Just a reminder.
I am absolutely going to pull those shafts this weekend for you if you still wanna trade.
Also I have a set of the old school Sun Performance Rockers that you could cut down to work on the CJ 5 maybe. I always liked the look of those. I think Fred even may have used to have a set on his Jeep way back in the day. I finally got tired of them not fitting my stretched wheelbase cleanly so I'm taking them off. I think they would look killer on the 5.
