I'm replacing my p/s pump and have discovered some differences in mine and the replacement. Mine is from a 91 Kick, and is all steel. The replacement is made by KYB and is all aluminum. I really don't care what it's made from, but here's my problem. The replacement has a bent pulley, so I thought I would swap pulleys. First off, I'm having a hell of a time getting the pulley off the KYB unit as there isn't a nut securing it. Secondly, the pump with the good pulley does have a nut and the pulley is somewhat different. Even if I do separate the pumps from the pulleys, I don't know for sure if they are interchangeable. Does anyone have any experience with this?
AAaaaaarrrrrrrrghhhhhh!!!!!!
That being said...thanks!
sorry to get off topic Crow - but I was wondering of the breeze x-over steering requires the stock steering stabilizer - didn't want to forget to ask you.......and I don't have one......
It appears the the mounting is the same between the two pumps. What I also discovered is that the feed line from the rez to the pump looks to be larger than the one I have. The high pressure hose (came with the pump) has different bends than mine and there is a metal tang on the hose fitting where it meets the steering box. Geez, I thought this would be a simple part replacement...I should know better by now.....
The pulley is not designed to come off of the aluminum type pumps and the pulleys are not interchangeable. You should try to find a pre-'96 steel pump or a '96-up pump with hose. The high pressure hose is different. The mounting of the 2 pumps will be the same.
Crow ,
If one pump doesn't have a retaining nut , and the other does, the two pulleys probably won't interchange. One is pressed on , the other isn't . I'd say get a different pump , just to avoid the headaches....

Thanks guys....back to the drawing board..... \
Brent, do you have any pre 96 steel pumps in stock? I'll give you a call....
