Power steering pump replacement...

**Baluchitherium** · 03-17-2006, 10:13 PM

Anybody have a "step by step"?

Mine is really noisy (Like a bad grinding/whining bearing noise,checked the fluid,looks good) and I ordered the pump...Looks like the biggest problem is going to be getting the pulley off and on to the new pump...

Any advice?

Thanks!

On 2nd thought,this should have been in the "general help" section...oops

you will need a power steering pump puller to get it off and back on. rent one from autozone. it won't be fun getting to the bolt under the pump. a short 15mm socket with a swivel should do the trick. the one behind the pump you'll need to "walk" it out while holding the pump with a 15mm wrench. the one closest to the water pump will be the easiest. here's pic to kinda see what's going on.

Anyone know where I can get step by step directions for removing and installing a power steering pump? Also any recommendations on what replacement pump to use?
