97 Lesebre Power Steering Mount Bracket

[nickrhoden]

I am not very familiar with the names of parts but can fix my car most of the time. My power steering reservoir which has a pulley that the belt runs on, broke off. the 2 bolts holding it onto the bracket, broke off inside the bracket. I am going to have to take off the bracket in order to get the screws out. But, i have no clue how to get it off. It is located on the left side of the engine in the bottom corner. Please share any tips you have to help me get the bracket off so i can take out the 2 bolts that broke off, and put the power steering thing back on.

Never had that problem, but do you have the PS pump completely out of the way? If so, have you tried using vise-grips on the studs?

I had to take the car to the shop so they could lift it up. We had to drop the engine down so we could get the broken bolts out and put the pulley wheel and power steering reservoir back on. Two broken bolts ended up costing me 150 including towing.
