PS Rebuild
Anyone know of a good write-up on rebuilding a power steering unit for a '95 Runner. Just wondering the best way to approach something like this. The rebuild kit is only $40 so I'd rather do it myself and save the other $200 I was quoted for labor. HOw hard could it be? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The pump or the gearbox?

Personally, I wouldn't bother rebuilding the pump, just replace it.

Tc posted the link to the manual, which will help, the other link is good too,
Here is a thread about a guy who had trouble getting his off, I guess that it is pretty common for people run into problems getting a few things off,

I gave the guy a couple pointers in that thread, so I won't post a bunch of them up here until you read through it and still need help, then go ahead and ask,
Pointers for the rebuild: buy a toyota rebuild kit, not a cheapy one, and on this thing (the little vsv valve or whatever it is), make sure that you mark which hose goes where, before you pull it apart! I just used a silver sharpie to mark the hose and the plastic valve :

resealing p/s pumps is very easy. Honestly, the only parts you need to replace are the front shaft seal, the resevour oring, the rear cover oring and the 2 orings inside. The rear cover oring and the 2 orings inside are the large orings. 2 will be a greyish color and 1 black. The 2 greyish ones go on the inside of the pump and the black is for the rear cover. The 2 vac lines on the vsv dont matter where they go. Too bad you didnt live in cali. I would charge you less than $100 to do it
