(Home) Power steering pump noise, bearings, seals

The bearing in the 08/90-on PAS pump (splined shaft) is a 6303-2RS, and can be fitted without any special tools or a press.

Following the successful rebuild of my own P/S pump, I have a spare, recently purchased from BBC Spares. It is for a pre-91 2c-t townie (single fan belt) but will also fit the later type with the addition of a small spacer behind the pulley (supplied). £55 gets it to your door. Email direct.

Looks like Toyota list the seal & rataining ring separately, as they have a full breakdown of the pump, you may also be able to get one from POWER STEERING SERVICES http://www.powersteeringservices.co.uk the Toyota number from the CD is 90311-24001 (up to 8/90 models), 90311-17004 (8/90 - 01/92 models) the snap ring clip is 90521-44002 (up to 8/90 models), 90521-51003 (8/90 - 01/92 models). Hope this helps regards Rob.

just strip it and take the parts to your local bearing house...

tried a few company`s in my area but no luck...the actual size is full unit 43mm and the diameter of the shaft is 23mm the case thickness is 8mm but i dont think that would be a problem...any suggestions

well, if the bearing house can't help, the dealer can!

Saved myself £400 ..dealer told me a complete power steering pump would cost this plus the dreaded vat...
telephoned a local company called BEARING POWER
tel 01642 617242..they traced the oil seal in 2 days at the cost of £7...what a saving. The guy told me any seal or bearing they would have or would find. He was not lying..give them a call if stuck..

Does anyone know if the power steering pump on the
later 1993 townie super extra 2.0L deisel auto
2wd(rear) is the same as the earlier ones as mine is
getting noisey and I may replace with 2nd hand unit
or replace bearings/seals (if I can work out how to
get it off!) advice/part numbers if poss appreciated.
(note I will be collecting part no's as I find them
for my 93 townie and post here at sometime)

1993 facelifted model should be the same pump as the 08/90- on earlier model. Pulley offset will differ on the pre- 08/90 models. There's a post a bit farther down the list about this kind of thing...
