Power steering pump!

My pump has started to squeal like a little piggy and it sounds very much like a front bearing that’s starting to dry out/wear

Anybody know if these can be rebuilt?
I can buy new but if the old one strips and can be rebuilt then I’d get much more fun from that

I remember Audi selling O-ring kits for them and buying reconditioned units, so yes, it must be possible to rebuild them.

Thanks for that!
I did look at some parts diagrams earlier but couldn’t see anything that suggested that
I’ll dig deeper

I seem to recall a "How-to" on Phil Payne's site, with a comment specifically about using the right tool to undo the big cross headed bolts.
