You can, but depending upon what went you'd run a risk of burning out either the servo or the pump, and that might be expensive :)  (well, more expensive)

Evilgoat:
Not a great idea with no fluid cooling/lubricating the pump. if the servo died you might get away with it.

Plus you really wanna drive that without PAS?

No is the simple answer  :lol:  :lol:

problem was the whole engine bay was covered in ATF so had no idea if it was the pump or the box that had given up the ghost and being i had the other half with me didnt want to take the chance, if i'd been on my own i'd have whipped the PAS belt of and chanced it.

AbyssDJ:
i was just gonna say i'd have taken the pas belt off... still, depends how far you are from home i spose. heavy vehicles to drive to start with, nevermind with no power steering

welshlaner:
mine  went recently, got home on ordinary roads found at about 30 little effort required, it was parking the problem

my pump shaft got pulled out from i think form the back bearing, i've seen this before is it a common problem ?

Can one, fix the old one any ideas on how to take apart ? i've replaced the pump so nothing to lose, but how do you get into it.
