Help Needed: '03 P5 Power Steering Pump Shaft Bearing Question
Frequent lurker, first time poster. I'm having to work on my '03 P5 (2.0) for the first time since I bought it a couple years back. Just swapped out the thermostat and overflow reservoir with relative ease, now it's on to the power steering pump.
It's leaking and I'm cheap. I bought a rebuild kit and am going to set to work on it this weekend. My questions to you folks are around the shaft bearing.
1. Is there a bearing in the P/S Pump? I've read online there is, but in the P5 manual (6-12-27), it doesn't show one.
2. Assuming there is one, does anyone have the bearing number and a recommendation on where to get a replacement, if needed?
I'm hoping, since it would be covered in P/S fluid, that there wouldn't be any damage - but want to be prepared. Sorry for the amateur questions. This may be well beyond my ability, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Thanks in advance for any assistance!
