How long to change a power steering pump?

Power steering pump is moaning. Just bought a new one with res and pulley. How long to R & R? I'm trying to find time in my already too busy week to get 'r done but want to make sure I don't pack a 3 hr project in a 1 hr time slot!!

Thanks,

Lance

If your fairly handy at wrenchin, prolly 1-1/2 hrs. Might I suggest, replacing the hoses while your at it?

You will need the proper tool, a power steering pump/vacuum pump pulley.... puller/installer. Available at Azone or any other fine A/P store for free rental..

Re: How long to change a power steering pump?

You will need the correct size "line wrench". I tried mine with a regular open-ended wrench and rounded the flare-nut ends of the hoses.
Sears has these wrenches. Good to have for brake lines as well.
