so i just bought a 02 tl with possibly a bad PS pump. I am going to flush out the entire system with fresh honda PS fluid cause it looks like some jackass put transmission fluid or something other than honda fluid. Hopefully it solves the problem. But if it doesn't. Does anyone one has a step by step on how to remove the PS pump? I know its only a few bolts but i looked and i don't know how to get to some of them, specifically the bolts to adjust the belt tension.

 

the real question is how do change the PS belt?...and do u need a puller to get the PS pulley off?

 

You dont need to take the pulley off. Loosen the bolts on the PS pump (one under neath one towards the back and then loosen the tensioner nut.
