Power steering pump swap-out, '97?

[Bob Dillon]

OK, just ordered a new pump-mine's whining annoyingly, I figure it's time for a change. (No, the fluid's not low.)

No problem on dismounting the pump itself from underneath, just two bolts, but how about the hoses? Anyone know the sizes at the rack and pinion, and will I need crows-foot wrenches, or what?

Thanks.

Bump.

C'mon, somebody must have done this.

I remove the lines at the back of the pump, not down on the rack.

Thanks. Will an open-end wrench do that, or do I need crow's foot ones?

Best thing I can say it to get under there and just look at what ya need/will work.
