I have not rebuilt mine as such but have taken it apart to see what was wrong with it. It not too bad. I did post some picks of the internals and so on. Just be wary of the little plates that sit in the veins.

So why did you not rebuild your steering pump Kev??
Mudski sells the kit plus also sells the bearing as the kit does not come with it...
Something I am a little ashamed of was when I got a mates shop to do a steering alignment when I did the lift the pricks just pulled the steering wheel off and moved it instead of doing it the proper way... think if I am to rebuild the pump I will set up the steering as it should be..?
Just wondering if I should drop the car and inch before doing this... sitting at 4inch at the moment.
You still have coil spacers don't you?
Yes I do.... in some ways I am glad as it does give me the option to come back down.Quote:

The other thing is I am not sure if mudski sells those little plates as that was what was wrong with mine. There was a slight chamfer on the end of the gear that had gotten worse over time and the plate was jamming in there. But if mudski does sell the whole kit I still have the old pump and will prob rebuild it sometime down the track.
What is the reason for wanting to drop an inch?? Is it for better road manners or are you shrinking and it's getting harder to get in and out.
If you have an adjustable drag link it won't take long to straighten the wheel. Also the kits I have only suit GQ's. There is no kit available for the Gu's. Throw them away jobs.Quote:

Cool bananas... though you may be wrong about the 6 beers.... could be 12.Quote:

My brakes have been shitting me and today before heading off to work thought I would quickly bleed the brakes at the Bias valve and heaps of air came out.. went to the right caliper and pretty much only air came out... went to the left and there was some sort of fluid and thought it was a caliper seal but turned out to be a axle seal.
Mudski was out of stock so I ordered 2 from Nissan (keep one as a spare) and will try and get it done before the weekend.
As for the air in the lines I need a bit of time to do it all properly.... oh the joys of it all... need pads and machining on the fronts and would say the left rear will have oil on it so there is more cash I dont have right now..... ha ha he he heh.. ho ho blah !!!!!!!
Yeah great! Mine is the same.. I just bit the bullet and bought the Safebrake lines, going to take it to the brake shop and just get them to fix it! I can't work it out.
Went to Bursons on the way home to see about a Bendix brake pad I wanted to fit and have been told of a recent price hike in most pad suppliers.... ready for this.. Normally about $85 for good quality pads jumped to $130... FWARK !!!!
Just ordered them on line for $80... now I need to find the business card for the bloke who comes to your house and machines brake discs for cheap.
Now for some reading in the manual for the right way to bleed the brakes with the Bias valve....?
nice care bro :)
Ah I used this bloke to when I fubared my brakes on the last Tallarook trip. A little old Ital bloke who smokes like a chimney!!!Quote:

This bloke! https://www.yellowpages.com.au/vic/s...nessTypeSearch
Getting discs machined tomorrow plus replace axle seal on the rear left.. spent a fair while today bleeding the brakes and think I might extend the bracket for the bias valve.
See how it all goes and report back.
Waiting for the disc machining bloke to turn up but already had a job to do... wheel bearing adjustment as the right sude had a fair amount of play... also even though I make sure they are tight there is always one or two loose allen key bolts on the hubs..?
Also did a bit of re greasing.
Attachment 57506
Nearly done... both disc's warped on the outside. ..
Pads have still not arrived but with the driver so not far off.
Attachment 57508
If your wheel bearing had alot of movement it's probably needing a repack or grease
