Default 71 Power Steering Pump Rebuild

Read that Mr. Shea has a paper on how to rebuild your power steering pump. Can someone please tell me where to find it or how to get the info?

Thank You!

The pump itself is pretty darn easy to rebuild. I read where someone tried to sabotage the pump by putting sand into it, just to see what would happen. It survived! Anyway, seal kit usually should do it. note the direction of the vanes in the impeller, take a good look at how the pressure relief valve is installed, use clean p/s fluid when reassembling. It should work just fine.
