P/S Pump Replacement Question

CrazyInBlack · 10-15-2007, 11:19 AM

I am in the middle of replacing my P/S pump and cannot get the feed line off of the old pump. Is it reverse threaded or am i just missing something?

Nope, it's not a reverse thread.

Those things can be on there pretty good. Make sure you use a line wrench. . . of the correct size, of course.

Ok I went and bought a line wrench but now the bolt is too worn to remove, what now?

Heat, vice grips, and a new pressure line.

Yep, that may be his only option depending on how messed up the nut is now.

On a side note, I recently replaced my line and I seem to remember it being less than $20 at O'Reilly.
