Thread: Splitting td5 power steering pump

pas pump pic 1.jpg

this is the bit i need to remove to seperate the halves

hopefully someones got the answer and it helps future people too haha

It looks like a press fit, but I'm not sure how you would press it out without risking the body half.

I have a PAS pump here that looked like it has the dog pressed onto a splined pump shaft and to be quite honest I wasn't at all convinced by it and so replaced it with one that looked like a proper press fit such as the one you've photographed.

Couple of years ago now but as I remember it was simply pressing out the shaft (we used a bolt on the press against the shaft) in the middle of the coupling and it came out very easily. Was hoping at the time that we just remove the coupling as have an electric water pump but we had to resit the coupling for integrity.

hmm how to press out without said press! im sure its been done, going to my boys tmrw to chuck it in the vice and see what we can come up with..

Was looking up the repair kit, sure it was a yellow rubber gasket we put in, and came across this - Disco 2 - TD5 power steering pump rebuild | LandyZone - Land Rover Forum - will keep looking for the repair kit now.

well i kooked it, in tapping out the spindle i disfigured a tiny little dowel pin that sits half in the spindle half in the gear piece. tiny little thing with a double taper (cant get a pic as camera wont focus its that small haha)

have ordered a hobourn pump from island4x4, probabaly should have just done this from the jump but was keen for a tinker!

so my advice if anyone attempts this is use a press as the smooth motion of this i imagine would preserve the dowel pin

will pick up a pump off a wreck if one comes up in the future and attempt a rebuild but for now, to the 'broken but potentially fixable' box on the shelf it goes

Was this while pressing the water pump drive dog off??
