96 parky power steering pump help
Hey everyone,
My P/A Ultra has noisy power steering pump, so when I checked the fluid this evening, I noticed that it was very low. I filled it to the appropriate level, started her up, and saw fluid draining out the bottom.  My questions are: How difficult is it to rebuild if I buy the kit? Any special tools needed? How do I remove the pulley? Would my time be better spend paying the $85 for a reman'd pump, and call it done? Is removal/replacement that difficult? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Click Here for some generic P/S R&R and yes, buy the rebuilt unit with a reservoir and lifetime warranty.

Re: 96 parky power steering pump help
Well, I got the original pump off, but in the process, caused another issue.
There was a wire connector that utilized the frame of the power steering pump as a mounting surface. Because i did not notice them, as I removed the pump bolts, the weight of the pump broke of one of the wores at the connector.  Any idea what this wire is? How do I go about replacing the connector and reattaching the wire? I really hope I haven't messed tings up too bad. By the way, thanks for the link BNaylor. Those directions were perfect!
