Can anyone give me an idea how difficult it is to rebuild a leaking power steering unit on an M5? (I don't know exactly where the leak is because I'm talking to a prospective seller on the phone.) Is this a do-it-yourself job for someone who has played with old cars for years? If no, is there a well-respected place it can be sent for rebuild? Price?

Thanks much for the info.

Bob

If this is the same type of steering cylinder as a gvi then it is not much of a problem. Our gvi steering cylinder leaked like a seive. We took it off and took it apart and replaced the o-rings. It hasn't leaked since. Everything is self explanatory as we did it without any reference. It is basically like rebuilding a hydraulic cylinder, the hardest part if figuring out how to get into it.

Bob, Philo, the M5 PS system is not like the GVI. The M5 has a slave cylinder mounted inside the front end housing. It has gear teeth on its outside surface that act directly on the front steering sector. There is a control valve located on the front left side below and behind the radiator. The steering shaft pass through this valve similar to some types of automotive power steering. My M5 currently has a PS leak where the oil lines enter the control valve. I think some new o rings will fix my problem though. There are several places the PS system could be leaking. At the valve, the lines into or out of the pump, or possibly where the lines enter and exit the cyliner in the front casting of the tractor. Hope this helps some.
