I spent a few hours trying to do it with the engine in the car 😥 What a pia. I gave up and will just drop the engine and trans then remove and rebuild the pump because although I can get most of the bolts out not sure I could ever get them back in. Oh well I’ll also adj the valves and try and find some pesky leaks.

 

I did this a few weeks ago. It is doable but you have to know the secret password.

 

where do you live I’m getting a torn rotator cuff fixed Friday I could use the help 🤣🤣

 

Ok ok if I say pretty please with sugar on top do I get the secret password ?😕

 

Remove the right header from below, remove all 13mm nuts and bolts that keep the belt cover on the pump
Remove the right side engine tin and the forward engine tin blocking the pump

From the engine bay:
Drain the PS reservoir by removing completely the feedline
Remove the fuel line and hang it out of the way
Remove the bracket that attaches the pump to the top of the engine. You might not need to take it out, just get it off the pump.
From the engine bay, remove the four M8 long bolts with backing nuts (you get to the nuts from the engine bay by feel, or with mirror (not from below). A collection of wrenches, short socket and 3 degree swing ratchets help here.
Slip the belt off the pump, wiggle and maneuver the pump off the car.

I live in the Bay area,

 

Too far to help Thank you Very much for the tips

 

Reads like a tough gig to me removing the PS pump with the engine in situ. I have only changed the PS belt while the engine was out, and that was a strain. Good luck, subscribed

 

When I get off work I plan on mixing a Rye and Coke laying under my car and contemplate my future 🤣

 

Just so you know, I have a lift. I did that removal in 1 hour.

 

now your just trying to make me feel bad 😥

 

Well I got home mixed a drink and went the the garage. Success I got the pump out but didn’t drop the exhaust or pull the front engine tin. Took me a 1/2 hour. I had a lot of stuff off already and will be employing my 10 year old grandson with small hands to help reinstall every thing. I could palm a basket ball in grade school so my hands don’t always fit where I want them to. I very much appreciate the “secret password”

I had to google it, but now I know what a rye & coke is! Colloquialism got me !

Well done, not much space back there!

 

Actually Yelcab kind of made me made saying he did it in an hour so I just had to do it without dropping the engine. Maybe that was his design. Regardless I’m happy he provided his input I was scrambling my brain trying to figure out how to get it accomplished before Friday he inspired me! He deserves the thanks.
Now about Rye whiskey and Coke it can be inspiring too try it some time. I like rye over bourbon as the later seems sweet. Try one sometime **** Creek is tasty so is Bulliet. I go with Coke Zero got to watch that figure you know 🤣🤣

 

Now let's see how you get that circlip off the center shaft during your rebuild. Post a picture and how-to.

I remember seeing that color 964 back when it was new in the dealership. They know how to pick colors back then. Rasberry pink, fly yellow, firetruck red, midnight blue, black and white, and all of them have the factory options of matching color wheels in 17 inch. Damn, those were the days.

 

I looked tonight at the clip your referring too I don’t think it will be an issue but I have been fooled before. I’m guessing a couple of picks but I won’t mess with it till I have the rebuild kit in hand.
The bright colors just go with these cars 😁
