how hard are they to change on a 1986 6.2 powered 2wd 3/4 ton suburban??? mines dripping fluid pretty badly from what it looks to be the seal around the shaft, hard too see up in there. anyone got one??

 

ahhh yes i did one one once, pretty sure its only a few bolts holding it on by a bracket got a gf with small hands? that likes to get them greasy.. i wonder how different they are from a 350?

 

no i dont have a girlfriend with small hand, dont even have a girlfriend with big hands, ill just keep it filled til i get the money to get a new pump...

 

pumps arnt too much money Logan maybe 50 bucks....

 

i dont have 10 let alone 50, thank god im starting my new job monday

 

my mistake logan i was thinking of the fuel pump.. sorry not the powersteering pump.. have no idea about the pw steering pump......

 

You will need a powersteerring pump pulley puller, new pump, and about 4 hours of time to spare. Check the lines though. I say this because they have a tendancy to leak, when they leak they will cover the whole pump with fluid. If it is your front seal then you need a new pump. It has been a while since I replaced one. There should be two bolts I believe one is 5/8 and the other is 9/16. I believe the lines are a 5/8 as well. If I remember correctly the return line has a hose clamp on it. That is the one that is known to leak. Also if you replace the whole pump, don't forget to bleed it. You do this by jacking up the front end and turn the tires left and right. Keep checking your fluid level. Keep doing this as often until all the air is out.

 

i know how to bleed the system and replace it and all that stuff, i just have never changed one on a 6.2, thank god it isnt like the one on my cummins.

 

I am sorry, but you asked for the info. You did not say you knew how to bleed the system. So I gave you that info as well. I have a changed a few on the 6.2L and 6.5L they are not that hard to do. But it is time consuming.

 

Do you have the hyrdo boost, my reservoir leaks and it seems to be a 2 person job to change it or at least to get the belt tight. my belt was loose and I tried to tighten it by myself and made it worse.
