i have a 96 z28. i noticed that my power steering pump was shaking while the engine is running. so i tried to tighten the pump mounting bolts and they are both stripped out.not the bolt but the aluminum in the accessory bracket is stripped.is there anyway to fix this?

 

Helicoil.

 

Worst case re-tap it and get a bolt from lowes that is a hair bigger.

 

10239875 is the part number for the bracket if you don't want to tap it, or if you can't find a used bracket.

 

i'm taking the power steering off my 94 if the bracket is the same lmk

 

It is the same.

 

dont really want to take all that stuff apart to change brackets.just going to fix one i have. i tried to get the pressure line on the pump off and turning that nut with an open end wrench is extremely GAY!!! is the a tool to make it easier?

 

You need a line wrench. Using an open-ended wrench is a good way to strip it.

 

i need a p/s pump...my pulley shakes like its bent? pm me if your getting rid of yours.. thanks

 

undedrstandable.but im more so talking about the way u can only tun the nut lil by lil.i wanna get more longer turns o n it

 

ttt......

 

I usually loosen the pump from the bracket before removing the line usually. Give a little more room, but yes, it is extremely gay.

 

We used a bolt that was a little longer but the same size diameter in one and it caught some back threads I guess worked good!

 

those mounting bolts ure dont have enough threads left once it goes thru the pump to fasten to the bracket good

 

im going to try some longer bolts first. wat size bolt are they and wats the thread pitch
