I did. Just a light film. Dipped my fingers in the ATF and pulled the oring through. Just enough so it'll move around and settle nice and even as I torqued parts down or reassembled them. I 'oil up' the o-ring on the motor oil filter before I install it, figured the PS pump o-rings were similar.

Similarly I used some generic automotive white grease I had. Just a little, on all the seals, and for the bearing. Its compatible. I got the pump reassembled last night and on the car. It was late so I couldnt do a good bleed. 2am idling with a full 3" exh ...ya neighbours wont like that. lol. But the car was needed to be used in the morning so I had make sure it wasnt leaking. I did a manual bleed, with a quick bleed with the car on/wheels up. Not ideal/perfect but something. Then I took it out for a boot just to make sure it was ok. A little judder and resistance at pts,but more than likely from air stil in the system. good idea i drove it? eh not the best. But as mentioned the car had to be used today. There were some bubbles for sure. Fluid almost looked like champagne with the little bubbles working their way out. Im exaggerating a bit. I did try to do some light turns at slow speed to work it a bit. Got back, so far no leaks...but time will tell. *knocks on wood* I have some more info on that oil seal and what I used. Ill edit my post later tonight with more info. I replaced all the seals and the bearing. So a complete rebuild other than replacing those springs/the pump parts. Tonight Ill do a real good bleed and cycle some more new fluid in there. Hoping it will be perfect when Im done. |

Its not quite like that. Its a rotary oil seal
very much like TC.(yes it the oem one has a spring inside) The problem I ran into was the one off the pump has a built in lip on the outside there. which is basically used to help keep dust/dirt out. Problem is no one around here stocked that exact design nor could they order it. Most typical seals like that for most stuff dont have such a big dust ring. suby obviously doesnt carry it. i even tried some power steering rebuilders and they didnt have it either.Im sure something online can probably be found but I didnt have that kind of time..so I made an executive decision to pick up an oil seal with similar design but it doesnt have the dust shield. the oem bushing spec 9.3 x 20x32 but that 9.3 is with that dust shield. the actual seal is only 7mm. So i picked up a 7mm x 20 x32 tc rotary oil seal. i then used a buna "washer" that was about 2.xx mm thick(32 OD and 25 ID) and I placed it on top of the seal to act as a make shift dust shield. Im pretty sure the bearing rests up against it. thats what I did. time will tell if the seal holds up. if the dust thing is working or not. i obviously dont know. hopefully it is. if not its probably not the end of the world. You can find regular ones and heavy duty ones...I just went with a regular one. they were $4.xx ea from where i got it. the heavy duty was about $13.xx ea. I dont think there is much pressure in that part of the pump. It was a separate chamber that has a small hole leading up to the return line. Though it may be worth getting the heavy duty one. I didnt. hopefully it doesnt bite me in the a55. I have some pics Ill get up sometime this weekend. Last edited by cracky; 04-30-2011 at 01:15 PM. |

McMaster's got a subset of their rotary seals they call Metal-Rubber Shaft Seal
The Heavy duty spring-loaded double lip version looks like this: and P/N 5154T49 is about the size you quote. There's also the Spring-loaded double lip version P/N 5154T35 has almost the exact dimensions you quote |

Ok...here are a few pics comparing the original oil seal and what I used. Going over things again...I would run an 8mm wide oil seal. i went with 7 but you can see its a bit smaller.
Now hopefully it wont make a big deal in the end. The seal itself didnt even seat in the hole. Its just firmly in place. no bottom for it to rest on. the more important part is where the sealing section is and that its not to deep into the hole. You can also see the OEM one is deeper on the outside ...on the backside of the seal, where the one I bought are about equal. I havent had any leaks yet but we will see over time, since the bushing is pressed in pretty firm, i wouldnt expect it to show a leak from behind right away. god I really hope its ok lol. I couldnt source the exact oil seal locally. maybe online somewhere will have it..OR you have to get it from the pump manufacturer lol good luck. So we should have all the details ironed out now for fully rebuilt pump(besides replacing any metal parts) I have reused those types of seals before(with about 90% success rate)...but in this app I decided not to since you have to fully dissemble to reach it. Once that shaft came out , I was gonna replace the seal. the seal got wrecked when i took it out(in case you are wondering) Hopefully this helps. OEM One I bought.

install procedure is the same with this as other oil seals. (cam seal, trans seal etc) I also used a $3.99 bearing. Its up to your discretion as to what you want to use. |

the shaft diameter is 20mm so thats the ID of the oil seal.
32mm is the OD and I used a 7mm depth...though I think an 8mm would be better looking at the pics. If you want to run a spacer like that as a dust shield. pick up the appropriate thickness)1.4-2.4) to make the overall depth the same(9.4xmm). your discretion if you want to do it. If you can source the exact seal, let this post know! |

You should update the list with the seal specs
so far everything has been running fine! no leaks and pump output is normal. I had to do my brakes after and sheared both lower front caliper bolts. lol it never ends(ive since fixed all that too) |

Just ordered the orings. Do I have to replace the bearing and the seal to get to all the rings?
Also my pump doesn't leak or get air in it. will this fix my problems? My steering just dies when I auto cross. No noises or anything. |

How old is your ATF? You might try a synthetic. I use Mobil 1.

I just hope it fixes it. Everyone else's seem like they are making noise or leaking. Mine works fine when I dd but as soon as I start an auto x lap it can't keep up it seems like. I use to have problems where it would boil and cavitate. But now it just get SUPER heavy and impossible to drive fast. I'm worried the actual pump part might be bad. But I really don't know how these things work.

Ya I'm wondering what they fix on the rebuilt ones.
I'll try the o ring fix and if that dont work I'll buy a rebuilt one. Or can you get the little pieces that slide? |

Anyone know if a 97 Outback P/S pump uses the same o-rings listed in this thread?

Before investing time and money with no air bubbling visible you might get your pump's output pressure checked.

A dealer should have the fittings and gages to do the test, or possibly an independent shop. It's in the service manual. It also tells how to inspect the force required to rotate the pump.
