Any place on the web with a detailed look at removing the power steering
pump?

I may be getting cold feet on this....that steering pump looks like it's
anchored in 5 or 6 places.

Looking like a bi-atch.

I am told it is possible to remove the pump without messing with the
coolant hose. Accomplished by undoing the 5 short bolts, 3 of which
are on the pully side and 2 on the side where the coolant hose
is. The 2 holes in the pully are for access to the 3 bolts. The 2 other
bolts may be possible with a wrench, small fingers, and taking your time.
Also the long bolt and tubing spacer.

I have not seen any photos on the net but would very much like to. Picture
is worth a thousand words and many threads on newsgroups (modern day
corraliary to ancient proverb).

I don't know if it applies to s70's, I have heard that some models have
a plate that allows for easier removal / displacement of the
pump/alternator. If anyone can confirm this and point out the details I
would find it helpful. Also what models/years it applies to.
 
Thanks.

The tip on holes in the pulley wheel are something I missed.

Already disconnected the coolant hose.

I think you may have put me on the right course with this....hopefully I can
just set it to the side completely connected to get to the alternator.

The bolt that goes through the alternator and part of the pump bracket is
giving me a fit......really tight.

Mine's a 98 S70 T5.

Tight bolt - longer lever arm, and be sure you are going in the correct
direction. (don't ask me how I know this) Just a thought, I can not think
of a reason this would be done, this "could" be a left hand thread????

If you can use a penetrating spray and get it only on the bolt threads
that may help, let it soak in for 15 to 30 min. I don't know what access is
like.

Do you have a replacement alternator in hand at this point or are
you going to go to a local auto electric shop to rebuild yours?
 
I thought it might have reverse threads...I'm not going to mess with it for
a few days.

I have other transportation so I'm going to take my time.....after (or, if)
I get it off, I need to see if it was rebuilt only 7000 miles ago as HASH
IMPORTS
"claimed".

Damn....I'm glad I could throw their name on the web.

Once again, that's....HASH IMPORTS.

I just searched for HASH IMPORTS on the net and found more to do
with the HASH that one IMPORTS for recreational purposes than a place to
get auto parts.

What kind of place is this? Parts only? What part of the country are they
in? They got a web site?
 
Last I heard, most HASH comes from Nepal, although other countries
have probably gotten into the trade also.

Haven't seen HASH since the 70's though.....

Not that this helps you one bit...
