**GTPJOE90** · 10-25-2009

**minichopper6hp** · 10-25-2009

well whats the problem then? you trying to line up the power steering bolts?

**GTPJOE90** · 10-25-2009

**GTPJOE90** · 10-25-2009

**GTPJOE90** · 10-25-2009

ughh still a pain in the ass!

**QwikGT** · 10-25-2009

when i took my pump off i jacked up the car and took the passenger wheel off. made the bottom bolt much easier to get it

**minichopper6hp** · 10-25-2009

u run that spacer yet quick lol

**QwikGT** · 10-25-2009

its going on as soon as ZZP ships me my bolts lol

Joe.. one thing to keep in mind is if the motor is sitting back (no dogbones connected) the angles will be off and it may be tougher.

**Bio248** · 10-26-2009

another thing to keep in mind is stop being a woman. if the power steering pump is the only thing holding you back then you clearly have no idea how to work on a car.

Keep up the hard work!
