^^^ that only applies to the 2002 WRX power steering pump. The 03+ have a different pump.

On that scale I'd rate it a 2. The hardest part of the whole rebuild is getting the pump off, and putting it back on the car. Blowing apart the pump and replacing every oring ,seal, bearing and then reassembly is not as hard as just getting it on and off the car.

No.
Additionally the Fluoroelastomer is only rated "Good" for resistance to hydraulic fluid while FEP rates "Excellent". FEP is the cheapest of the "Excellent" rated materials, last time I looked. Could be wrong. If you just want "Good" go with Buna-N and save a buck. No shame there. It's what comes OEM. |

this is the info they have on their site rigth now Compressible FEP-Encapsulated O-Rings A pliable FEP exterior combined with a resilient rubber core gives these O-rings excellent compressibility. Perfect for sealing corrosifluids, the FEP encapsulation also makes them virtually invulnerable to most solvents and chemicals while maintaining the corrosion resistance and slippery surface of PTFE. FEP encapsulation meets ASTM D2116 and LP389A and is FDA compliant. Silicone-Temperature range is -75° to +400° F. Durometer hardness is A70. O-rings are clear with a red-orange inner ring. Viton® Fluoroelastomer-Offers even greater chemical resistance than silicone. Temperature range is -15° to +400° F. Durometer hardness is A75. O-rings are clear with a black inner ring. |

ok quick question... the pump doesnt leak or anything.. but If the pump was damaged due to putting brake fluid in there... would buying these o-rings fix the problem?

you're probably going to want to replace the pump and all the rubber lines, it may have destroyed the seals in your rack and pinion too.. At least, I know if you put ATF in a brake system it destroys everything rubber. For brake fluid in something that takes ATF, I would assume you'd get the same result of it expanding everything rubber, but I don't know for sure.

You need to remove the PS bracket and the PS pump at the same time from teh motor. It is not possible to get the PS pump off the car without first taking the PS Pump bracket off the motor. There is a long bolt (5 inches?) holding the PS pump to the bracket that can only be accessed from the back side. And the only way to get at it is to take it off the motor.

Is it necessary to remove the bearing and replace the oil seal? I only have leaking, no shuddering.

Thinking something must be wrong, I popped the hood and look what I found: This picture was taken with me standing right in front of my car, bending down to get a shot of the leakage. It's leaking at the indentation area. I previously mentioned that Dash-021 ring I got was slightly thinner than the original ring: Orig. ring LEFT, new ring RIGHT. Not sure whether it's related to the leakage that I am facing now though. Any thoughts what went wrong? O-rings, oil seal? I am very tempted to pay my mechanic to rebuild it The O-rings I bought are Viton rings btw. |

Problem resolved! Turned out to be...
O-ring was not properly seated before reassembly causing part of the O-ring to get sliced off! Lesson learnt! |

I'm sourcing the parts to do the rebuild. Do you have any advice on reinstalling the orings so I don't pinch them? Thanks! |
