200 Power Steering Pump

[stangman196700]

i just found my old power steering pump in a bucket full of oil and power steering fluid. i turned the pulley and made sure that everything was drained out of it. Should i replace the whole pump or would it still be able to be reused?


thanks

I'd try it before I replaced it. The unit is designed to keep fluid in, and I've seen transmission fluid used as PS fluid before. If it were me I'd clean it off with some brake parts cleaner and toss it into use. If it whines or grinds you needed a new one anyhow, and you are only out a couple $$ for cleaning/installing.
