How hard is it to change pump and all hoses?If somebody can explain or is there a tech article somewhere?dummy]

 

Its really not that hard so long as you either got a buddy to help or your nice and tall. Locate the Powersteering pump/vacuum pump assembly. I would at least break the nuts holding the ps pump to the vacuum pump loose, there are 4 of these. Then you should have 2 bolts for the vacuum pump attached at the housing, then you have one bolt attaching the pump to the side of the block. For hoses i would just undo the pressure lines at the top by the hydrobooster (found this was the best place lasttime) then undo the return line from the steering gearbox. and reach in and pull it out. (i also removed the intake tube to gain more access to the assembly.) also while your at it whenever you remove the pump from the vacuum pump you are going to want to reseal the vacuum pump. as i have learned after the second time apart i now need to reseal. http://www.fixinrams.com/ sells the seal kit and a dvd instructing how to fix it. (i believe the shop here sells it also and genosgarage does too) good luck, ill be pulling mine next weekend.
