Power Steering Pump - 67 Cutlass

Need to rebuild or replace.
1. Nobody seems to make or sell the big reservoir units.
2. Nor can I seem to find the proper replacement pulley.
3. It looks like you take off the first nut on the shaft and must have the belt still installed to keep it from spinning?
4. Then what…. a pulley puller?

the 67 pumps are sold without the reservoir if you want new or rebuilt .

only way to get the pulley is used, what one do you need?
Do not use a puller on the pulley. Undo the nut, either with an impact or wrench with the belt on. then work the pulley off by hand , it is key on the shaft., use plenty of your favorite spray lube to work it off.
If it's just leaking front or rear you can get a seal kit for about 15.00 bucks to fix that.

X3 Nick and Joe, recently replaced the PS pump on my 63 Starfire, no problem sourcing one.

Thanks guys! Nick…I’ll follow your instructions and get er done. I think my pulley is ok. Might not be by the time I'm done removing it though. We shall see.

So what Joe pictured is a complete unit WITH reservoir? I don’t think they sell it complete like that anymore. But I can reuse my rez.

Lastly, for the Robski, I noticed you employed a castle nut. Mine is a nut with a lock washer. Is one preferable to the other?

Thanks again,

I’d have no chance without this forum.

I believe being this is a 36K mile car the castle nut was on there originally in 63. Yes, you only get a rebuilt pump, you separate the pump from the reservoir. If you get a rebuilt unit, you will need to send yours back for a core refund. If you struggle with changing the reservoir over, start a new thread. Bunch of us can help that process along.

Unfortunately, that appears to be the case. Lares lists it, but no one shows it as available any more. The reservoir is just sheet metal. The trick is ensuring that the square cross section seals between the back of the pump body and the inside of the reservoir stay in place as you push the reservoir onto the new pump body. Take care to ensure they didn't slip out of position before you press it the last fraction of an inch into place.
