The one that was on the donor SEL was a Vickers and had the tag legible
with the part number (which is the same I think as the one in the repair
tutorial I found.

) The one on the SEC had the tag but it was not legible. There is a
little bit of impression left I might be able to see if I get out a
magnifier. The housings are the same, I guess the guts might be a bit
different.

I am fixin ta do the one on the 240D, but it is a different pump. I
did the dual pump on the 124 wagon that they claim is not
rebuildable. Rusty got the kits for it. Simple, so long as you keep
track of order and orientation of the internal parts.\
Try the usual sources for a kit.

I decided to take a look at the 560SEC power steering to see where
the fluid was leaking. Getting under the car it looked like it was
coming from the pump itself not the hoses as there was fresh fluid
dripping down from it onto whatever stuff is below there, AC hoses
and whatnot. So I took a look at the 420SEL that is sitting getting
knackered and to donate the engine to the other 420SEL that the
engine jumped timing on. The pumps were the same, though the one on
the SEC I couldn't make out the plate for the part number. Took the
420 pump off, took the 560 pump off and they look identical so I
cleaned up the 420 pump and put it on the 560. Filled it with fluid
and it looks like nothing is dripping and it is pumping though it had
a bit of a knock in it maybe, so that might be success on that
annoyance.
It looks like these things can be rebuilt? There was a big retainer
ring in back that looks like it it holding everything in there, if
that pops out I wonder if the guts will come out then some seals or
something can be replaced? Anyone know about this, ever done it?
