broke my power steering pump. 150$ just for the labor. only good thing is i know the mazda guys and they can get me a new one for free but i have to pay labor, hence the 150$.


jackalope.... looks like my payments are going to be starting a bit later than i thought, terribly sorry...

$150 to replace the PS pump??? omg, I'd do it for $125....save yourself $25 and bring it to me, it'd take about 30 minutes!.

save 25$? heh, thats gas 1 way to your place!

from NC to AL would be more than that! I was just joking about how much they were charging you for 30 minutes worth of work...

loosen the belt, disconnect the 2 bolts holding the pump in, loosen the inlet/outlet lines, swap in new pump....reverse...

with a set of needle nose pliers, a 14mm socket, 12mm socket and 10mm socket yoyu can do it yourself in about 30 minutes.

yea, i got tthe part for free (im out of warranty) but i have to pay for the labor. i wanted to just get the part and put it in myself but they said i would have to pay for it then...

No problem :bt:
