Seals for power steering pump
Hi guys!
I bought a new power steering pump and it came with two bags of seals. One bag contained seals with two different thicknesses to seal the pump to the reservoir and I should use the ones that gives the best fit. That's fine!
The second bag contained two o-rings, which I'm not really sure what they're for. The big one seems to be a replacement to the one pointed out by the arrow in the picture, but what is the small one for?
Thanks
Fredrik

These other two seals must be for something else. Perhaps they are just spares and I don't need them, but I don't want to find out that I needed them after putting it all back on the car.

not being a smart ***, but did you read the instructions? I can't read the whole thing in the picture but it seems to indicate where the large one goes, and the small one is for the modern hose end (no flare) if you use that style.
interesting it seems to have come disassembled, every pump I've purchased was completely assembled, did you just get a raw universal pump with no reservoir? that would likely be why it has extra seals depending on the application...

I bought the pump separate and I'm reusing the old reservoir, which just needed a little touch-up with paint.
