Is there a way to do this, either my self or by taking it somewhere? I really do not want to have to put everything back together again to test it if I can avoid it at all.

When I worked @ Kragen, we had a bench tester. They test for free as do most parts store IIRC because they want to get your business when you need a new one.

see if theres any auto shop in your area that does there own rebluids. they would be able to test it for you. here my local NAPA has a tester, only truble is finding some one in there that knows how to work it.
A good day working, that's just sick :reg:

If you know any high school shop kids, have them take it to school and test it.  When I was in high school I made some $$ doing that for people in the neighborhood.
