I rebuilt mine.  Kinda tricky, and getting the arm back on the
shaft in exactly the same position can be hard.  The valve body is
aluminum and so it scratches easily when trying to get the shaft
seals out.  But if yours just leaks down, you may not have to
replace those.

Re: [MBZ] Anybody rebuild the sls pump?

That is the valve in the back. I have rebuilt the one in my TD 
and it has been working fine for over 5 years now. The big thing 
to remember, if you can find a kit, is you need to indelibly mark 
the position of the arm that connects to the link from the sway 
bar on the shaft going into the pump. You can figure out where it 
should be positioned from the manual diagrams but it's a royal 
pain and if you are in any way mechanically/ spatially challenged 
in the slightest then you may never get it where it should be. 
The factory almost certainly had jigs to set this. Don't ask.


The kit from Mercedes is 000-586-00-32 and shows as available for 
$40-$50 depending on how good a relationship you have with your 
parts man.

Not mechanically or spatially challenged, just lazy and I'll deny 
I ever reveled this.

The self leveling valve?  Get a used one.

That is the control valve in the rear.  I tried twice and failed twice to 
rebuild one, but others have had success.  MB used to sell a kit, try the 
classic center, it may still be available.

Re: [MBZ] Anybody rebuild the sls pump?

i'd guess the orings in the valve.  MB sez no rebuild, but someone here, 
maybe Jaime, has put new orings in with success.   I know Jim Ettaro 
rebuilt the valves for the 6.9 (air) and they were supposed to be not 
rebuildable.  He said it was simple, just orings.  Maybe someone else 
knows more?

85 tdt settles after shutting it off. Is that the pump, or the little 
valve
in back? I put the better looking guts of the two pumps I had back 
into the

head when it went on, so thought maybe the pump needing attention.

Thanks.
