Has anyone had success on rebuilding the washer pump? The wipers on my '74 work, the washer pump activates and moves up and down in the housing, but I still do not get any fluid. I bought a rebuild kit which consisted of a few o-rings and a new platic outside plate held in place with four screws. I reassembled the unit but to no avail. Is there a large o-ring or something addtional that needs to be replaced on the large plunger inside the pump? I does not seem to be creating any pressure and/or suction to pull the fluid from the resevoir.

Thanks Ron

I thought I would send this out again. Anyone?

You can buy a complete new pump from several venders. Why not just replace it?

Try priming the pump. Take a length of rubber tubing fitted to the pump intake and fill with water. Start the pump. Sometimes this is all that's needed to get it going. :chevy

You should be able to replace the pump portion of the assembly. You might also try a hardware store for the piston o-ring. These things are not very complicated, if it strokes it should pump. :confused:

Thank you all for your replies. I realize that I could replace the pump, but thought I would attempt to get the original going if at all possible.

I will give priming the pump a try and then take a look at relacing the o-ring.

Thanks again.
