Crasher 3 Posted December 10, 2006 Soak all the power steering pump bolts with releasing agent for a few days before you touch it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted December 10, 2006 It is very fiddly! You need to remove the bolts for the pas pump bracket. Think there are 4 in all. You remove one from above, and the others from below. You'll work out which ones they are when you get under the car. The worst one is situated next to the stat housing and is difficult to get at- I couldn't get my one off, after successfully removing the others. When they're removed, you just move the bracket out of the way and take the stat housing off etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
