Tell me about it ..........  been putting new pads in the CrewCab today, simple job, couple of hours .................

Taken an hour (n' two large whiskey's) to get mi' fingers and toes moving again  :lol:

Note to self .............  check brakes in SUMMER  :roll:

PS: best of luck with the PAS pump's guys, just try and pick a warmer day  :shock:

well seeing as it is apparently shot i took the pump off again(yes it was flipping cold but by now i was too cold to care) it does come off reasonably easy but i needed to take off the alternator for better access and seperate the pump from its mounting bracket to wiggle it out.
if you read the haynes manual they go on about taking the viscous fan off and the pump pulley but i didnt have the right spanner to hand for the fan nut.
you can seperate the pump back off the main bodyto gain access to the pump its a roller type pump, and thats as far as i,ve got at the minute as i had to go and get my other disco for SWMBO to run around in while this one is repaired

beast5680:
-4 here this morning Brrr :lol:  so i decided to play around with the steering again and fix the doors on the other disco as they decided to not open :roll:
for those of you interested here,s a pic of the insides  of the pump, it seems to be all pressed together as i cant see anything else that stops it coming apart. As far as i can make out if the pump is worn some of the oil pressure must bleed round the back end of the shaft and start to try and push it out

Same temperature up here this morning. I also ventured outside this morning but all i did was tap the pump shaft back but it instantly moved back out of line when i started the engine!
Looks like i'm buying a new pump after Christmas.

Thanks for including a photo of the pump, it's interesting to see whats inside.

beast5680:
well just got back indoors from fitting the new pump and bleeding it up and jobs a good un :D  :D  no more squeling from the belt and the belt sits in the middle of the pulley. still got a leak on the steering box but i can live with that for the minute until christmas is out the way
