The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 1979 blazer power steering pump rebuild kit ?

Hi

I'm still busy with rebuilding my 55 1st series Chevy Truck and have another question. A couple of days ago I got a 1979 Blazer Steering Pump and Box off ebay Germany and I would like to rebuild it before I make it fit in my Truck.

Has someone an address where I could get an rebuild Kit for the Steering Box and pump?? Please keep in mind that I'm living in Germany and can't just ship the stuff to someone in the US to have it rebuilt.

Thanks.

Bernd,

I have enclosed a link to a repair kit..and a rebuilt pump. I only use the linked site because it is a great reference for price and availability.

I don't know what is involved in getting something to the Hinterland, but it seems like just purchasing a rebuilt pump would be a time saver. Good luck.

Any parts store in the states has kit,s with the soft parts in them. They probably are available there also. They are made by Saginal division of G.M. I think Mercedes uses them too. I would put seals in them & run them. They seldom go bad.

I agree with Wrenchbender, reseal and go. Don't open one up, they are way too complicated for what they are, lots of little pieces,

So if I just reseal the pump and box, where do i get the seals from??
Any adress where I can have some send from to Germany??

Thanks a lot for the imput!!!!

Hmn... parts america doesn't ship outside the US or it's territories it seems.

Well, if you know for a fact that is a '79 power steering pump for a blazer, one of us could get it at the local parts store and ship it to you.

What are the good brand names for a rebuild kit, fellas?

Hey fellas,
the 1979 blazer pump that Bernd bought, does it matter if it came off of a 2wd or 4wd ? Does the engine size matter? I was poking around some of the parts store sights online looking at the seal kits.

It woulndn,t matter if the pump was for a 2 or 4 wheel drive. He will probably have to make backets if it,s going on a 6 cyl. I shure would think you could buy those seal kits in Germany. We can get Mercedes & BMW parts over the counter.

Right now I'm in kontact with a fella that might have a seal kit for me. Hope I get it here in Germany that saves me some hassle.

Thanks though

Well, let us know if we can help...

They are pretty much the same for the last 30 years or so. There is variations in the upper seals (called worm shaft seal) in the steering box. Some had a smaller shaft then others.
