Well, last night the power steering pump started to whine. Checked the fluid level and it was down considerably. Checked the box and it appears that the lower seals are gone. Topped everything up with the Lucas goo and it it has quietened down a bit.
Question: Does the whine indicate that the pump is on the way out or is that just cavitation?
Can I get away with just replacing the seals in the box? I seem to remember that it is not that hard??
Can the pump be rebuilt?
Thanks John

Thanks guys,
Picked up a seal kit today from FWD at Yerongpilly up here in Brisbane for $43 (wholesale - full kit, they didn't have the minor one for the output shaft in stock but I figure I will eventually use it and the price was good.)
Shall have a crack on my next days off and see how we go. Until then I shall keep pouring the Lucas goo in.

I would not be trying to get the pitman off with a hammer as someone suggests. Will do damage to internals.
cheers, DL
