I'm working on a Deere two cylinder power steering pump, replacing seals and such.
Would it be a good idea to slightly lap the sealing surfaces of the pump? I have a feeling it's better to leave it alone, but thought I'd ask
The pump was only leaking out the shaft seals, the surfaces seem fine, I just wondered how much warpage there might be from years of being bolted together. One side of the pump has a pair of dowel pins that I'm going to have to leave in place...
I don't have any flat gauge block or anything fancy, I honestly was going to tape fine sandpaper to glass.
