Hey guys, my power steering pump finally gave out on my 2002 TL-S yesterday. It's been having issues for a while but completely stopped working now. I saw threads before to rebuilding the power steering pump and plan on doing this later this week when I have some time. I am a college student and unfortunately don't have $300+ for a new power steering pump.

I wanted to see if anybody could give me any tips on replacing the bearing. Most of it seems pretty straight forward but I don't want to damage the ps pump shaft while trying to replace the bearing. I also wanted to know where the tensioner is on this vehicle if there is one. I already have the parts on hand just waiting till I get a chance to get around to it with the least amount of down time.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Have ya tried pricing an aftermarket remanufactured pump or perhaps a low mileage used one ?
