power streering pump?

[95DarkGreenGTS]

hey my power streeting pump is leeking and i went to take the pump off but the bolts seem to be different does it take a specail socket or something?

huh? You need to get a ps pulley puller to get the pulley off so you can gain access to the bolts. The bolts are internal torx. You will need to get that special socket. I am not sure the size but I'm sure someone on here can chime in. I just did this job last month its really not that hard, the worst part was the mess it can make if your not quick enough capping the ps reservoir off.

Yes on the PS pulley puller.

But I don't remember the bolts being torx bit. I believe a 13mm socket will remove them... your results may vary.

they can't be a 13mm because they will interfere with ps pulley when its pressed back on. They are round torx so they will fit. I've taken off a of them and they were both torx.

I've taken them off many times, and I believe I got them off with a 13mm socket - though they aren't a normal-looking fastener. The PS pulley doesn't sit so close to the bolts that they will interfere - all the older cars use the same pump and have normal hex-head bolts.

I might even have the bolts at home - I can check to verify.

Mine are Torx i'm pretty sure, something else is bound to fit though, its very bad design having to pull the pulley off to get to the mounting bolts imo.

i used normal bolts when i put mine back on.... i think the stock bolts were some type of torkx.

I believe any M10 x 1.5 x 30mm bolt will do.
