Sounds almost as good as using brake cleaner to seat a bead

The resulting explosion of fluid aint pretty but Im all ears to a better method.

Remote the two bolts on the top of the sector shaft retainer, pull shaft out, let fluid drain, use large diameter socket on extension with one sharp hit nock out lower seal. (All of this is after removing the shield and snap ring in front of the seal.).

Have I mentioned I've done this before... http://www.supermotors.net/registry/9090/53889

Iv'e also heard about drilling a hole in the seal and puting a screw in to pull it out. They all result in about the same amount of fluid loss just one has a quicker release.

I got a new belt to fix my tight tensioner issue. I got my K&N hooked up using the flexable exhaust tubing and I hooked up everything for my York! All I have left to do is change out the seal on the steering box. The York so sick!

So jealous!!!!

So it turns out that the seal doesn't even leak right now. The pump was leaking out of the cap because I had to much fluid in the resevoir. I took it out on the freeway today and it was fun as hell. The K&N makes it rumble even more and I don't hear the powersteering pump anymore.

I had my back seat folded up in the up position and did a brake stand launch. When I let go of the brake the seat slammed down so painfully loud that I thought the rearend blew.

See Stan, that is why I told you never to wheel with it up. It make the most god awful sound with a physical lurch!

Mine has a torsion bar, so it wont/can't flop down on its own. I'll show you some time...

This is how it starts







Tear down







The junkyard parts I went with

A sag power steering pump out of a 89 econoline van with high pressure line (make sure to find a capwhen you grab this)



A York out of a 70's ford pick-up. It's the 210 model which originaly had a V-belt pulley on it.



(this is how the shaft on the 210 york looks like)



Here's the three main parts I was planning on installing. I went with a different cooler in the end when I saw how much easier it would be to mount it.





I had to remove the light and it's mounting tab to make room.



Then I mounted up the cooler making custom mounting tabs.



I then got a serp belt pulley for the york from Ryder for $95 shipped. It's sweet.



I then did the "oil mod" which is easy and keeps up to %90 less oil from escaping the york. You just put a screw in the little hole leading down to the back of the pulley.





I then mounted the sag (direct bolt up) and started making the mounting plate for the york. The first peice is 1/4" thick 6"X4-1/2" plate with the bolts being 10MX1.50 pitch and about an 1" long.





The second plate is a 1/2" plate 6"X7-1/2" peice with the bolts being a 3/8-16X3/4".





Leave room to get to the cap for the power steering



The elignment is very important. Front and back and in line with the other pullies.



A little extra bracing out of some scrap 1/4" plate



All the welds were done with flux core using the "anti-spatter" spray. This pic is with only a light wipe down. No real clean-up.



Paint it up black of course



And mount it all up once and for all with blue locktight



I then modified the power steering lines to allow me to have the cooler plumbed in and finished the job using tranny line and hose clamps



Finding a belt for the new serp set-up proved to be a challenge. Here's two helpfull tips.

1. Napa has the biggest variety of sizes

2. buy multiples and return which ones arn't right. It'll save you trips

The York doesn't allow me to use the stock air inlet lines to the throttle body so some modifacations had to be made





The stock air box is cool and all but the wife hooked me up with the K&N so I had to make some stuff for that as well



And making room for it, this mounting tab for the fuse box had to go. My fuses have been broken off and laying there for a while now so it was quick and painless





and I made the mounting bracket for the filter. This one I made out of some thin scrap but later re-made it out of 1/8" plate to make it stronger



The filler peice for the air intake came by way of some flexable exhaust tubing (2-1/8"). It worked really well



The on board air was already in place before hand using the stock A/C pump. It was ok but no york. The "manifold" had to be re-done. I made it up and made the bracket with the air intake off. Big mistake





That air switch had a built in unloader which I thought I needed. It ended up not fitting with the intake hoses in place so I used a smaller one I got off Ebay for $20 shipped.



I then worked the stock fittings from the york to accept my inlet filter



And my outlet going to the filter. I worked up a copper compression fitting for the unloader that I now won't be using. It really doesn't need it



Then just plumbed a line back to my original manifold going to the tank / rear line and to the front of the truck



Final conclusion.... The York is rediculous and insanely powerfull. The Sag makes me mad I didn't do it sooner and the K&N is much cooler looking than the stock air box in my opinion. I even replaced a bad coolant temp sensor while I was in there as well cleaned up a bit. I'm extremely happy with the outcome and feel free to ask any questions or make any comments.

Rich

Looks good Rich! Can I borrow some air when we are done with the snow? I'll need to test this out myself to see if I want to do it in the future

I get first dibs if my ARBs are leaking! Looks awesome and I love you mounted the separator in the side like that!

Lookin damn good rich. Nice work.

thanks guys. I plan to loan my hose to anyone in need on it

Looks damn good Rich. When can I drop mine off?

FYI I went to 4WP today and bought the $60 smittybuilt compressor so I dont have to get in line to use yours tomorrow.
