[Shotimes] Steering Pump Removal/Installation

[Johnsho92]

Thanks Steve,

So I guess the Engine mount is suppose to come out
before the pump can be removed.  Have you done this
job before?    How does the pump comes out after
removing all the bolts? That is if I can get to all
the boilts..  ;(

Is the pump suppose to come out via the bottom of the
car?   The side of the car? or the Firewall side of
the care?     I think I see what you mean by removing
the rear engine mount, but not really understanding if
it interferes in the way or not.   Do I need to move
the engine around and get more room, is that it?

Thanks Steve! :)
