Power Steering Pump Disassemble Hobourn BB Series

Removal Procedure

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

    • To ensure correct reassembly, record or mark all information as specified in the procedure.
    • Cap the hose connections.

       Important: The model S205 Hobourn pump is not rebuildable. Repairs should not be attempted. Refer to Bulletin: 86-32-05, February, 1998.

  1. Disconnect the hose connections.
  2. Remove the pump. Refer to Power Steering Pump Replacement

Cleaning, Inspection, and Repair Procedure


    Object Number: 309695  Size: MH
  1. Clean all parts with clean solvent and blow dry.
  2. Inspect the following components for excessive burning, scoring, wear or oversize condition:
  3. 2.1. The bushing

    The bushing IS NOT serviceable as a separate component.

    2.2. The bearing bore

    Maximum bearing bore ID is 40.03 mm (1.5760 in).

    2.3. The bushing body (24)

    Replace the bushing body assembly, if necessary.

    2.4. The bushing cover (12).

    Replace the bushing cover assembly, if necessary.

    2.5. The port plate (19) face for excessive scoring or pitting

    Lapping or polishing of face to remove up to 0.050 mm (0.002 in) is acceptable. Use care to maintain a flat polished surface.

    2.6. The shaft (33)

    Replace the shaft if necessary.

    2.7. The bearing (26) (some models) for excessive wear and radial clearance

    Measure axial "tip" with 0.254 mm (0.010 in) maximum radial clearance.

    2.8. Inspect the seal (34).
    2.9. The cam (18)

    Polished appearance is normal. Wear severe enough to raise a burr on the ID corner indicates replacement.

    2.10. The port plate (19)

    Excessive scoring or galling is not typical. The plate can be hand polished with the maximum material removal of 0.002 mm (0.0001 in). Replacement is required for more severe wear.

    2.11. The seals (21) and (20) for cracking or excessive swelling
    2.12. The end plate (22) for cracks in the area of the sealing rings
    2.13. The control valve (17) assembly

    It is difficult to visually determine if internal valve components are faulty. Low pressure may be a sign for valve replacement. The valve must move smoothly in the valve bore. Minor polishing of the valve OD with the maximum material removal of 0.002 mm (0.0001 in) is acceptable.
