What maintenance is required for the Power Steering Pump on the Ford Pinto?

One of two types of steering pump may be fitted, with the Ford-Thompson (TRW) pump used through 1977 and the Ford C11 pump fitted thereafter. The only maintenance required is to keep the drive belt correctly tensioned and to check the fluid level. To check the fluid level, run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature, then let it idle while turning the steering wheel from lock to lock. After switching off the engine, check the fluid level on the dipstick, ensuring it is between the COLO and HOT marks based on the fluid temperature, which can be tested with the hand. Add only enough fluid to bring the level to the appropriate mark, using the special fluid specified in preference to Type F automatic transmission fluid.
