[askme]

I have the older 2008 clockwise PS pump that is having issues. I was able to get a replacement and was planning on doing the swap, but am having a hard time finding How-to's. This has given me pause and leads me to believe it is a bitch.

I have seen the one pseudo-DIY on here, but it seems more solving problems of Supercharger issues.

I have a reasonable quote ($800 labor) from a local shop that probably doesn't really know what they are doing, but it would at least be their problem.

It looks like it would be as simple as drain fluid, radiator out, belt off, unbolt old pump, unhook old lines, reverse with new pump. All of which I can tackle (e.g. alternator was a 45 min job). But if there is some deeper hidden issue, access problems, unreachable connector, etc. I'd just as soon send it to the questionable shop.

Anyone know how hard it is to replace an S65 Power Steering Pump?
