Has any one here rebuilt a char-lyn power steering motor. The rebuild kits are available at reasonable prices, but to have one done at a shop is really pricely. Just wondering if a diy can handle this or if I need to bite the bullet. gobble BTW the motor works, it just leaks out all nthe time.

I will admit up front, I am not familiar with the pump in question, however after rebuilding other types of pumps, (such as Hypro on pressure washers), I would say this, if the unit needs rebuilding, go ahead and buy the kit, read the instructions and look at the exploded view of the parts, this may help you to decide whether to DIY or not. Good luck.

Been there, done that. Nothing to it, Just a bunch of standard size O-rings. You don't need a kit if you have a box of O-rings. Take your time and finish it before you forget how it came apart.
I've rebuilt plenty of Char-lyn motors, basically
a new seal kit and a gear rotor,(Gear rotors do
wear out, allowing oil to bypass, loose power),
but have had trouble with a power steering valve,
they're not as simple, have more parts inside.
Just get a good parts diagram, and lay parts
out carefully as you disassemble.

Yep I have done it a few times.
One poster mentioned the timing. The sheet that comes with the kit discusses that if I remember.
The other issue I don't see mentioned you need a deep 12 point socket to take out the bolts that hold the motor together. It is either 1/4 or 5/16 depending on your motor. This is a tool truck type item as most sets if they even go down that small go to 6 point below 3/8. Socket does NOT come with the kit.
Posting a link for Snap On's 1/4 socket. I was suprised at the price being below $5.

You will need some quad seal o rings for the input and output shaft and I think one other o-ring for the body of the unit. Pretty simple to just replace orings to seal it up.
