Can sombody tell me how to remove the pully from the power steering pump, whith out the spesialy tools. Thanks

 

hey bone hope someone replies mine is whinning

 

I too am curious. I think it is taking a while because you need the special tool and if you do, why not just replace the pump. I thought those were not really user servicable. Maybe I will learn something here.

 

use a puller to remove the pulley..can borrow from Autozone..friction fit.

 

borrow the puller from Autozone for free

 

Yes, but to what end? Has the pulley worn out?

 

I would assume he needs to replace the pulley because you typicaly have to swap pulleys and resiviors when changing out a pump.

I've never tried it w/o the tool.

 

I've not done the R&R on that either but it sure explains that.

 

The problem is that I live in Norway, so I cant't just goo to autozone and get one.

 

ouch...Norway could be a problem. As far as I know there is no way to remove the pully with out the proper puller. I am sure you could do it but there probibly would not be a pully left.

I believe that all serpentie belt setups use the same tool to remove the powersteering pully. I used the same tool to remove the pully on my Ford that I used on my last Chevy as well as a Dodge that I still have. It is inexpensive, I think around $7 us and you should be able to find one in norway. I believe you need the same tool to remove the p/s pump pully on most Opel products.

A few tips from my p/s pump replacement....

1: Pull the driver side battery and battery tray
2: pull the drivers side intercooler pipe
3: pull the alternator
4: remove the power steering pump lines
5: remove the whole aluminum bracket that the powersteering pump is bolted to so you can pull the pully on the comfort of your garage floor/drive way/kitchen table

I know the above steps seem like a lot but it go's quick and make life so much easier.

6: pull the pully
7: unbolt the pump
8: bolt up the new pump
9: re-install pully with the same tool used to pull it
10: bolt the aluminum bracket back to the motor
11: fill the pump with fresh fluid
12: spin the pump by hand until fluid squirts out the pressure port*
* this step has pretty much eliminated the need to jack up the front of the vehicle and crank the wheels from left to right to bleed the system or put up the with the annoying whine until the system bleeds itself.

13: reinstall the pump lines
14: reinstall all the other compents IE: intercooler lines batt box etc.


on a side note, when I did my powersteering pump I also had the radiator, intercooler and fan shroud out but I think just the drivers side intercooler pipe and batt box should give you enough room.

Hope this helps, and look around you should be able to find a puller.

 

Man, Norway, that is too cool, or cold I guess. You get the long distance award tonight. Sucks to be you when it comes to parts, pullers etc, but I think you can find what you need. I suppose the new unit comes without the pulley. What a beeeatch. Let me take some time to look it up while I get another beer. How did you end up with a PSD there?

 

you can't even get to the bolts that hold the pump to the bracket w/o removeing the pully and the pump shaft goes through the bracket that the pump bolts to. I think most serpentine configurations are petty much the same, pully always has to come off.

 

Sounds good to me Clem. You have the helm.

 

I know some (stupid) vehicles are that way, but I think your alright on the PSD. Most sensibly designed vehicles have one or more holes in the PS pulley to allow the bolts to be removed first, then the pulley removed outside the vehicle.

Unfortuanatly, my wifes astro falls into the stupid catagory and sits untouched, replacement PS pump in the front seat. Undoubtedly it will not repair itself and I will be saddled with the task of removing the pulley in-situ. I dread it. Fortunatly for you the superduty has a bit more room and access, so you will be in better spirits than myself when you complete this task.

Good Luck!

 

Thanks guys, I will let you know if it was sucsessfull or not. I just have to wait for my pump, I order it from US yesterday, and I hope it will be here Friday or Saturday. This pump costs about 900-1000 $ in Norway.
