In my experience, failing seals would never damaged the pump gears. Seal kits are still available from various sources. I've never seen the pump gears fail in normal operation. It's always due to an incorrect repair job. I've seen plenty of nonsense about the these pumps and their "weak" cast iron gears. If the gears are the design problem, why aren't the lay shaft's distributor gears also failing? (Anybody out there had problems with these?) If you don't have the right tools, don't bother. I purchased the tools long ago for about $150 which was half the labor cost for having the job done. Since then I've done 5 more replacements without a hitch. I guess the electric pump would be the option if the shaft gears got damaged.
Anybody need the Saab instruction sheets covering the repair procedure? Let me know.
