Review on Gates 350450 Power Steering Rebuild by Matthew Guiney

Exactly what I needed. Restoring the power steering pump is much easier than expected, the only problem is making sure everything is CLEAN. Like a laboratory type clean room, clean. Dust, grit and dirt will equate your pump to an early death. After cleaning the outside of the pump as clean as possible, clean the work area and then open it up. I made the mistake of opening it up before cleaning the case and wasted far more time cleaning all parts, workspaces, bodies, then parts again, then workspaces again, and again and again than cleaning and again to clean. Assembly lasted combined. However, the first power steering pump rebuild took me less than 4 hours (including post cleaning) and my next cycle will probably take me around 2 hours of work. Worth my time and this kit!
