Steering Pump for blobeye wrx

[The Quadcam]

Hi all, anyone know if the steering pump I’m the blobeye wrx can be reconditioned or has anyone got a good one for sale? I can feel my pump starting to give up.

Thanks.
Fergus

Change the fluid first before changing the pump out

Unfortunately It’s definitely the pump, I flushed the system 3 times with new oil before refilling it,

Just had a look on YouTube and it looks straight forward enough , I think I’ll give it a go,

I believe the correct procedure for priming the replacement pump is vital.
initial priming by hand is advised.

I’ve just ordered a new pump off Dave, should have it for Friday

Use dextron 3 atf and prime it with the bottle lifted above the pump and you can use a drill and the belt to turn it slowly clockwise until all the air is out of it
