Hey all,
I am looking to replace the power steering pump in my 86.5 HB 3.0 because it leaks like mad and had weird spots of non power assisting while I am driving. Any tips, tricks, special tools/pullers I need? And whats the proper bleeding technique for this pump.
Thanks !!

Shouldn't need any fancy tools. To bleed you need to fill the system then with the engine running turn the wheels lock to lock a few times.

Will do, just getting info at this point. The truck is still at my Moms house being used as a work truck in CA. I just had a new OEM clutch put in. I need to go rescue her soon!!!
