I tore down a spare Borg Warner 1356 to rebuild/reseal it and do the pump arm modification. Well, when I got in there, the rib that holds the pump arm was already worn through. It didn't appear that the pump had spun though. The filter hose was still attached to the filter and showed no sign of damage which I believe would be impossible if the pump had spun correct? I suppose I caught it just in time?
The inside of the case looks pretty clean though and I don't see any obvious damage. I would really like to just replace the all the seals and fix the pump arm and toss it in the truck. Is there anything else I should do while I am in there? The forks still have the inserts in them so I don't know if I should mess with them? Same for the bearings-they feel tight but there may be slight play in them. Do these bearings typically go bad? I've read several things online that say these bearings, unless they go without lubrication, typically don't need replacing. Any input is appreciated.
