R & R of a power steering pump

by John Heflin


Power steering pump started leaking heavily out the front seal a few weeks ago, no problem I'll just replace the pump- except because it's specific to this model it's $600+ my cost for a new one from MB-and also unavailable anymore... Nothing available new aftermarket but some companies I've never heard of offered reman units through worldpac for $170-300 ish. No overhaul kit available from MB according to the parts catalog, or so I thought...

Google search to the rescue, found MB does have a seal kit (000-460-47-80) for the pump available on the M119 engines and turns out the C32 basically uses this same pump with an adapter bracket on it to fit the M112. A whopping total of $12 to fix it.
