Car Forum / Volvo Cars / July 2005S70 Alternator project 2
Any place on the web with a detailed look at removing the power steering pump? I may be getting cold feet on this....that steering pump looks like it's anchored in 5 or 6 places. Looking like a bi-atch. "Michael" <newszz10@yahoo.com> wrote in news:vJ-dnYTKIoKQB-_fRVn- qw@comcast.com: > Any place on the web with a detailed look at removing the power steering > pump?

Accomplished by undoing the 5 short bolts, 3 of which are on the pully side and 2 on the side where the coolant hose is. The 2 holes in the pully are for access to the 3 bolts. The 2 other bolts may be possible with a wrench, small fingers, and taking your time. Also the long bolt and tubing spacer. I have not seen any photos on the net but would very much like to. Picture is worth a thousand words and many threads on newsgroups (modern day corraliary to ancient proverb). I don't know if it applies to s70's, I have heard that some models have a plate that allows for easier removal / displacement of the pump/alternator. If anyone can confirm this and point out the details I would find it helpful. Also what models/years it applies to. Thanks. The tip on holes in the pulley wheel are something I missed. Already disconnected the coolant hose. I think you may have put me on the right course with this....hopefully I can just set it to the side completely connected to get to the alternator. The bolt that goes through the alternator and part of the pump bracket is giving me a fit......really tight. Mine's a 98 S70 T5. > Thanks. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Mine's a 98 S70 T5. Tight bolt - longer lever arm, and be sure you are going in the correct direction. (don't ask me how I know this) Just a thought, I can not think of a reason this would be done, this "could" be a left hand thread???? If you can use a penetrating spray and get it only on the bolt threads that may help, let it soak in for 15 to 30 min. I don't know what access is like. Do you have a replacement alternator in hand at this point or are you going to go to a local auto electric shop to rebuild yours? I thought it might have reverse threads...I'm not going to mess with it for a few days. I have other transportation so I'm going to take my time.....after (or, if) I get it off, I need to see if it was rebuilt only 7000 miles ago as HASH IMPORTS "claimed". Damn....I'm glad I could throw their name on the web. Once again, that's....HASH IMPORTS. >> Thanks. >> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > Do you have a replacement alternator in hand at this point or are > you going to go to a local auto electric shop to rebuild yours? > I thought it might have reverse threads...I'm not going to mess with > it for a few days.

I just searched for HASH IMPORTS on the net and found more to do with the HASH that one IMPORTS for recreational purposes than a place to get auto parts. What kind of place is this? Parts only? What part of the country are they in? They got a web site? Last I heard, most HASH comes from Nepal, although other countries have probably gotten into the trade also. Haven't seen HASH since the 70's though..... Not that this helps you one bit... >> I thought it might have reverse threads...I'm not going to mess with >> it for a few days.
