That job is fairly simple, unbolt the lines & then the bolts on the pump.

I figured it wasn't that difficult. Can't explain why they wanted $1800 including labor. I was wondering if you needed to remove the water pump or the power steering, etc. Gonna give it a go over the next long weekend.

Bought myself the service manual too.

What else needs to come off before removal of the SLS pump? Can it really be that straight-forward?

I'd like to get started over the long weekend.

Thanks again.

I am leaking fluid all over the place. It's coming from the pump so I just ordered a seal kit from George Murphy (mentioned in another thread). He said he will send instructions with it. From what he said over the phone it is pretty straight forward. He did mention to use wood chop stick to remove the old seals so as not to scratch anything. He said if you scratch anything, you may ruin the pump.
