skiiirt Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I was searching for an answer to my power steering problem. I recently replaced the lines on the power steering pump. I did this about 2 years ago. During my search I read that the cause of a really loud pump (whining) is a chipped pulley. Now regardless if this is true or not. I have a chipped pulley. The attachment is the culprit. How easy is this to replace and how expensive is the part? Also does anyone have the part number for this? Thanks [attachment deleted by admin] Removed to free up storage space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 The pulley? Shouldn't be too hard, you need to rent the puller from any parts store, and get a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 j/y is probably a good place to get one from. Probably only charge you 10 bucks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebojsa_o Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I don't know about power steering pulley, but when my AC crapped out, I was asking at the stealership how much certain parts were, and I was told a new pulley was around $175 CDN. I'm not sure if the PS pulley would be cheaper or not. Also, something to keep in mind is that this stealership I asked at, usually has redicilous prices for everything. The best thing to do is probably just call up a dealership in town, and ask how much it is, they'll tell ya right away. And the pulley tool I used was rented from Canadian Tire, for $25 bucks, and $160 or so deposit in case I don't bring it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 A new power steering pulley should be right at $20(USD) at pretty much any parts store. Autozone should rent you a pulley puller/installer tool for another $25-30 if you have one in the area, they also have some you can purchase for right at the same price if you want to go that route.

So you pretty much contradicted yourself throughout that whole paragraph... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 harbor freight's pulley remover/installer works fine, is less than $25, and you get to keep it when you are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
