... how much **** did i just get into

power steering hose blew 30 miles from home. I drove home. I imagine my pump is gone to **** now.

How much of a pain in the dick is it change this thing?

oh, and is it going to kill my alternator right below it?

Not too bad, just make sure to use the right power steering pulley remover...using a normal 2- or 3-jaw puller normally breaks the p/s pulley.

I had the power steering hose blow on my ws6, and empty the entire contents of the power steering system directly onto the alternator. That was 14 months ago and the alternator hasn't failed yet.

I've run power steering pumps dry, accidentally, and they never ended up dying because of it. As for your alternator, just wait and see, I guess...

X2. This happened to me but now I have a really nice Turn One billet pulley

The alternator will pull out the bottom DS if your d*ck is hanging just right....

Loop your dick round the alternator and sling shot it out of the engine bay. Won't cause you any pain if you do it right.

Dropped it off at the mechanic. Called me up saying they they refilled it and it works just fine. They're going over the whole car (just got it), replacing the tire that has a nail in it and anything else that needs fixing.
