I stripped my power steering pump this morning so that I can powder coat it and put a seal kit through it. When I pulled the shaft out, I can see what appear to be score marks on the rotor (read arrow in pic). There is no corresponding marks within the chamber and the vanes are all ok. Are they score marks or machining marks that won't be a problem?
Also, the rotor has quite a bit of slop on the shaft (blue arrow). Again, is this a problem or normal?
One last question, how do I remove the rear bearing in the alternator? Is that a dust cup over the end of the shaft/bearing on the outside? I've stripped the alternator completely but I want to replace the bearing too.
As usual, thanks for any help and sorry for the dull questions... :thumbsup:
