New PS pump in place. I removed the alternator and the alternator bracket (top left) which made the install much easier. First I installed the new painted bracket to the block. I then tried to install the pump, but now way could I get it in place! So I read the service manual. No help there. The said the pump could be installed with the bracket in place. In the end I had to put the bracket on the pump and then attache the bracket to the block. A bit of a pain, but with any luck I won’t have to do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now on to the re-assembly of the control valve body. All nice and shiny with it’s second coat in gloss black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll flat sand the two flanges that come together in assembly. I have a sheet of steel on my bench which is really handy with I need a dead flat surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All nicely sanded including the shim and plate that fit between the control body sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a first time for everything. So I was test assembling the control valve and was removing an O ring when it flipped out of my hand and fell down between me and the work bench. I must have spent a half hour scouring the area around the bench and even further thinking it could have rolled some distance. I even looked at both sides of my shoes with my feet in them. In the end I gave up as it was end-of-day and decided to look tomorrow. A final thought and I removed my shoes and son-of-a-gun wasn’t it nestled down under my arch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
