On the way home yesterday on the interstate at 75 MPH, my PS pump gave up the ghost. Really loud metal on metal grinding noise (even at that speed). Drove it off the interstate and to my driveway (about 5 miles) and never lost power steering, just that awful sound. As soon as I stopped and turned the ignition off, all the remaining fluid gushed out. I see metal shavings on the back of the PS pulley so I am confident that went bye-bye.
After getting a few shop quotes, (350 and up) I hope to replace the pump myself. Can anyone offer tips/suggestions on what to expect or do? I'm fairly handy (I have done my brakes and replaced the radiator twice) and it looks straight forward. Bad thing is, my shop manual got moved without me 6 hours away.
Help?!?
