anyone had their power steering pump replaced on their 1mz motor??

hard, currently fighting with it to get the top bolt off i'm putting it off till tomorrow when my dad has a day off to work on it.

if i ever find a easy way to get that top bolt i'll let you know, and toyota has a special tool for taking it off.

^^ Are you talking about the Banjo bolt (h/p line) or the pivot bolt ?

You can easily access the pivot bolt by removing the P/S pump pulley.
Or ( a little more work ) removing the top cover of the T-belt.

Banjo bolt...just use a 7/8-22mm wrench from the bottom or a swivel socket to get it from the top.

thank you!!!!!!!

ya the top pivot bolt i havent even tried at that banjo bolt yet i was going to take it off so i can get better access to it. the hardest thing i find about taking off the pulley is to hold it still.

^^ Stick a long sturdy screwdriver in one of the pulley holes.
Peg it againts the pump and loosen the 17mm nut that holds the pulley.
