I just removed the power steering pump.

There is a sending unit and a coller that needs to come off the old unit.

I cannot for the life of me get this thing to turn.

It is a sending unit wit a wire feeing into the back of it and has a large 21 or 22 mm hex on the end. i don't have a wrench that large, but even with a good pair of adjustable i cannot get that thing to budge. is it reverse threads or is there a secret?

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated, i need to finish this thing tonight.

Thanks in advance,

Joel

 

did your new pump not come with the sending unit? i just replaced my p/s pump last week and it was on the new pump..?

 

No it did not. I was able to remove the unit finally.
It is a 32 mm socket. I had to cut the wires for the sending unit.
After I removed it and installed it on the new one, I solderd and heat shrak the conections.

Everything is working fine. My bearing was going bad and it sounded aweful.

Now my baby is quiet once again.

Gotta love the 'workaround'

 

yea so did mine it sucked but im glad u got it all figured out and fixed!
