Power steering pump question

How easy/difficult should it be to spin a rebuilt power steering pump by hand? This is with it out of the car and no fluid inside. This is on a 1989 IROC.

Should spin easily. There is nothing that would offer resistance as it's a vane type pump. Pretty simple to disassemble and see what's wrong inside.
