Just got my ps pump for the 71 satellite,i thought it came with the reservoir,the 1 on the car looks like its all 1 piece.at rock auto it has the reservoir,did it get the wrong 1 .what gets me is how the reservoir is sealed the the pump housing.

That's a pump you need to use your old reservoir. Make sure you got the right one they used two different pumps in that year
 
Also it's a fairly easy job the pully is a pain auto zone rents a puller if you don't have one
 
OK i research it,but i think i will take it to someone who has done it before,i don't want any leaks.thanks for the help.

Pulling the pulley off is a straight foreword job. Replacing requires pump disassembly so pulley can be pressed on with the shaft properly supported. Similar to a alternator pulley.

The same puller that removes the pulley is also used to install the pulley - no pressing required or recommended less you want to bitch the bearings.

Can you provide a photo of the puller/installer please?

Make sure you get the pump tight to the reservoir or it'll leak like a sieve. Plus you need to make sure the pump and reservoir are clocked right so it bolts back in like the old one. Take pictures for reference before you disassemble the old one.
 
Is your pump shaft, sounds porno, threaded and have a keyway?
 
i have threaded and keyway. also glad that someone else gets the great help on this topic.I learned a lot but still i bowed out and sent it out to be fix.call me yeller.lol i cant stand leaks.
 
Saginaw pumps don't have a pressed on pulley. Federals do. Sags have a nut and keyway.
Which pump do you have? Beings it a 71 its probably a Saginaw.

Saginaw does have press fit models. Chrysler switched to press-on around '73. Since he ordered the guts, and others were discussing pullers, I did assume he received a press-on unit. Now we all know he just needs to remove the nut and key and switch it out.
 
That was my point: a pump with a solid shaft must be partially disassembled to press on the pulley without damaging the pump.
Yes, Mike. If you have a service manual, it will show how.
Housing has to be pulled off the pump. With the pump body out, when the pulley is pressed on, the backside of the shaft is the only place to be supported. Any place else, the pump gets messed up.

I have many FSMs and was Factory trained Mopar line mechanic from 1971-78 and carried a ASE Master Tech certification for 20 years so, I didn't just fall off a turnip wagon!
