Maintenance - Power Steering Pump

So the Rolla has had bit of a oil leak from day 1..
And i thought it was now time to tackle it.
I found that it was leaking from the power steering pump, so pulled it out and stripped it down.
The main seal was pretty old and looked like it could do with replacing.

So got a new seal from Toyota, and pieced it all back together.
While the pump was out, i got some depressor and cleaned the area it was leaking which was around and on top of the AC pump.

Also found that the AC pump clutch was looking a bit stuffed, so took that apart, cleaned it all and sanded down the two surfaces and reinstalled. (Now have AC again, as the clutch was slipping before)
Then went and installed the PS pump and connected it all up.





Hopefully will have a cleaner engine bay from now on!!
