1FZ power steering pump replacement...

[rmcmanus8a]

I did this job in 04 on my 97. I did not have the proper gear puller at the time so I paid a local shop to remove the gear. After I installed the new pump I had a loud whine. The gear was damaged by the shop that removed it. The damage was very hard to find. I replaced the gear and everything was fine. Bleeding was covered; had no problems with mine.

Be careful with the gear!
