I ordered a seal kit, and have the pump out of the car. Any tips for success please!
Rebuild Convertible Motor-Pump?

Its actually really straight forward. The biggie, the wingdings....inspect the motor very carefully. If its just the seals....its a snap. Check your mounting grommets too....they make new ones for cheap....
My old motor was a real mess with fluid flooding into the motor and go figure it still worked albeit slow and with a groan. I cleaned it up and put in new seals, brushes were still around 50% so left them be. Note to re-install the reservoir correctly - I had it rotated 180 and had to correct that. If you haven't considered, do a complete system flush and install new hoses if they look crummy. About 2 years later got a new motor, hoses, and use power steering instead of brake fluid.
