P/S Pump Bolt Hole Threads Stripped...input? So the lower bolt for my Power Steering Pump decided it wanted to pull the threads out for some reason. Now I can get it to thread and get snug, but I can not torque it down. I can torque down the top bolt but it does no good if the lower wont. As a result, my P/S pump keeps working itself out and getting loose and causes me to throw my belt and to have a nasty squealing sound when I am driving.
BESIDES removing the accessory bracket and getting the hole heli-coiled, what else can I do to AT LEAST temporarily fix this until I can get a more permanent fix in order??

3X Vote Even using their worst quality stuff - it only took me two hours to fix it. If I can do it in that time, in those worst-case conditions, then there is no reason not to either replace your bracket or heli-coil the one you already own.
Good Luck!
you can heli coil it on the car i did mine with no problem..........ill sell you my bracket if you want its useless to me now.........ill even throw in the AC delete pulley too if u want it
