So my front hydraulic pump decided to pop a seal and spew hyd. fluid all over the front of my engine this evening rendering it inoperable right in the middle of my wife's round pen she rides horses in.....well she used to.....
Through research I've done it sounds like this happens as a result of the pump being worn out and fluid being able to pass by the bushings and down the shaft to a seal which is not meant to handle that kind of pressure.
Long story short, I know there is no rebuilding it, just need to find a suitable replacement now. Orig. part number is 704165M91 (MF) and from what I can determine the Cessna number is 20644. All I really want to know is which direction is this pump designed to turn........I guess I could spin my engine over now that the pump is removed and figure it out myself but that would mean a trip outside. Anyone know if it's CW or CCW?
