PS Pump Replacement

[Doubletrouble]

 Pics of the tangs your speaking of? Purely curious.

 Also, should one add an inline p/s fluid filter?

 Ok, so the pulley would slip over that and interlock with the tangs? Just trying to picture how it goes together is all. For future reference.

No pulley on a diesel, it just bolts up to the back of the vac pump, IIRC there is a drive piece also

I would and have added one.

Then to step up your article there @IBMobile here is a update to the filter types so you can have a replaceable cartridge now. Designed for power steering.

 That's a nice filter set up. Looks like it could be remotely mounted anywhere within reason.

Something like that I would pay for the price of that filter being it can get replaceable cartridges and magnets. If set up right it might be handy for doing system flushes. I've got to think on that a bit.

Plausible

 

 I agree.  I am inclined to believe that surface metal hardness was more of a factor.  I ended up running the power steering pump to 215,000 miles and then replaced it.
