hey yall as some of u know not to long ago i replaced my steerin gear and now i need to replace the pump as well just wanderin if anyone has tips, tricks, or short cuts to this job any help is appreciated thanks for readin

 

Its not bad, we pulled the power steering pump off the vac pump instead of pulling them both in one unit, seemed to work good.

We did have a hell of a time getting the new pump to prime, maybe someone has a trick for that, I dont know.

 

Try disconnecting the line at the box until fluid comes out. Seal it back up, fill the res and try again.

 

ok im lookin at a napa reman pump the regular one is $57 with $50 core or they have one with a magna pure filtration system for $30 more just wander if u guys have an opinion im leanin to the cheap side

maximus how did u go about seperating the ps pump from the vacum pump its just those four bolts as far as i can see looks like a b-i-t-c-h to get those two on the engine side off just wanderin how u did it what tool u used

 

thats the way you remove it you use a wrench if you have a ratchet wrench it will make your job easier
and as far as priming it you turn the wheel all the way to one side and then visa versa it will prime and get air free

 

Yes, those bolts are a bitch, but not impossible.

One more note, the drive stub shaft for the PS pump is the VAC pumps sealing diameter, LUBE the shaft before putting it together, if you tear that VAC pump seal you'll be taking it off too.

 

i got it out thanks for the advice everybody puttin the new one in will be the easy part yall take care
