Power Steering Pump Broken?!

[Justy311]

So I blew the pump not sure how I did it, but I did, my question is how hard is this to do? Easy, or a wow...you F-ed up. Thanks in advance!

yes you can put some abuse on it yourself, but basically if it wants to go, it is going to.......

changing the pump aint too hard, removed the belt, remove the cruise control module out of the way to make it easier to work(you dont have to disconnect it.........them remove the 2 lines and remove the bolts through the pulley holes.......not too bad

take some "how-to" pics when you change it. i'd be a nice addition to the "how to" section.

I'm not changing it. I have the warranty still on my alero so the dealer fixes it for free...until January 2006, or 50,000 miles...and its getting close, so I'm glad it blew now! Thanks for all the help!
