    Power Steering Pump

    Anybody have one laying around? My pump starting whining so bad it almost sounds like i have a damn maggie under there. What other parts am I gonna need to swap one out?

    Shouldn't need any other parts, just need a power steering pulley remover/installer tool to swap the pulley over.

    Good luck getting the pulley back on. They need to be pressed on. But good news is you can take the whole pump out without taking the pulley off. I would try getting a pump that comes with a pulley for ease of swap.

    How did you take the pump off without removing the pulley??? The bolts on mine are behind the pulley. My stock pump made noise every now and then, got two pumps from oriellys and they made noise all the freaking time! Ended up putting stock pump back on.

    Thanks for the heads up on the pulley. Its not just the noise, tires are hard to turn at a stand still. So, does anyone have one laying around?
