Sofie's Official Engine Rebuild Thread!
So the ps pump didn't go all that well. Case fought trying to get the pulley off. For future reference, it's pressure fitted...lol. But 12 years of sitting like that made it difficult. The ps system was probably never serviced before because the fluid was practically black. Sofie didn't want to give up the lines either, so we just left them on. I don't think there was any problem with them, but I had bought replacements anyway. But they didn't go on, so I'm going to save them for when they really do need replaced. She was just not in the mood to have the ps system fixed I guess...typical woman. But the new pump went on and it doesn't whine when I turn now at least.

Woohooo congrats on getting the PS fixed. Yea the pully is a pain in the tail. I used to remove them for customers from time to time and I hated doing it. I think if I ever need a new pump I am going to just replace the pulley with a new pulley. Glad she is fixed!! more points for you in the ROTM!!

Yeah...I didn't realize it would be a pain, otherwise I would have spent the extra $18 for a new pulley too and saved him a lot of trouble and time. Oh well, more things we learned about my car. And thanks for the vote!
