i have the parts here in front of me, so if you need more pics, i can do that, but as you can see the pins broke off of the "pump"(drivin by the cam gear)which in turn rotates the center piece and proceds onward to the power steering pump. is there a place that i can get either a new shaft piece or do i have to buy the whole new pump? any help would be greatly appretiated.
Thanks!!
