GAAAAH my power steering pump went out guys...and on its way out it destroyed my water pump....SON OF A BI$#h....talk about a frustrating car!!!!!
im gonna have a completly new car by the time im done with this.....*sigh* so i need a new water pump and a new power steering pump....along with new lines and what not...anybody got some prices and tips on doing this swap while the shit is still in the car? i changed the water pump while the motor was out of the car....is this gonna be a pain in the ass to do? :hitwall:

if you did the water pump already then you should remember how it goes, right???
now...undo the motor mount on the water pump side and then jack up the bottom of the motor...this should give you enough room to work...it's kinda tight but better than leaving the motor mount hooked up.
as for the power steering pump...you should be able to keep all the lines to it and just change the pump itself...but i recommend a drip pan-hehe

just curious...how the heck did it ruin your water pump too?
was the belt too tight and smoke the bearings?
