Bob and all,
Just to clarify - you are absolutely right, putting a new gear and an old gear together is asking for trouble (gear tooth failure). I recommend always, always using the old pump shaft - you want to keep those 2 gears (pump shaft and jack shaft) together, they have been happy together for a long time!
Just replace the impeller (or have a machine shop resurface the sealing surface - let me know, I have plenty), the two seals and the bearing (parts available from McMaster Carr, under $50 for all 3), and the worst of it is you may have to make your own cover gasket.
The key is the two special tools to pull/press the pump and to block the impeller so that you don't apply torque to the gear teeth when reinstalling the impeller.
I have a scan of the final (1984, I think) Saab TSI on how to do the pump rebuild that I can send you, and I have a spare set of tools I can lend if needed. Geoff Clark has some really good instructions with photos on line as well.
Good Luck!
Gary
