I thought about taking the power steering pump apart, sandblasting each part, and rebuilding it with all new seals - but this is where I drew the line. I painted the rusty steel hub with rust converter and cleaned the aluminum with Awesome, I will paint it satin black.
FYI, driving the AC compressor clutch off with three 1/4-20 screws is NOT the right way to remove it. The threaded holes are to attach a pulling plate. But it worked and didn't really destroy anything.
Here was the original sticker on the AC compressor. I removed it and might recreate it after paint.
my dad instilled a love of rust converter at a very young age. good progress! the Fazz is nominal again.
