I have a 1995 Subaru Legacy LSI and am replacing the seals on the power steering pump. How do I remove and replace the front seal on the power steering pump?
You would save yourself alot of headache to just get a new or rebuilt pump. But most ring seals can be replaced by taking off the pulley, then any retaining plate over the bearing/seal/shaft to expose the seal. Then pry out working around the seal with a seal pulling tool or small flat screwdriver. To install new seal, coat outer race and inner seal rubber of seal with a very thin coating of fresh motor oil, tap lightly around seal to get it started in seal cavity be sure it is even all the way around. Then get a socket or sleeve the same diameter as the outer diameter of the seal, place over the seal and tap it down gently until fully seated. Re-assemble casing and pulley.
