Power steering pump help
I am replacing my power steering pump on a 96 ws6. The part of the pump that has a big knuckle at the very end, located towards the top side of the pump, is very hard to put in. I have tried lubricating it with motor oil and dish soap, are there any suggestions that could make this application easier. Someone recommended Vaseline to me, but I am not to sure if that will work. Thank you.

What did you contaminate with dish soap?
Basically anything but brakes/clutch and their hydraulics will be OK with some vaseline, but I would be hard pressed to come up with anything I would try to slip together with a degreaser like dish soap.
If you put dish soap on something exposed to power steering I would flush repeatedly once back together.

Are you trying to press the pulley back on the pump?? There's a tool for that. Or maybe I don't quite understand what you're doing, your description is sorta vague.
