I was online shopping for parts and came across the power steering pump for $3.6?

Where is this filter so that I can replace it? It was inexpensive so I grabbed one.

Assuming they used the same pump as they used in the 124's, the filter would be found by removing the reservoir cover (part of the pump) and peering inside. There is a plastic device and a nut, and a spring underneath. One you undo the nut, you can pull the plastic device of along with the spring. A pair of long clean needlenose pliers ought to help you to fish the filter out of there. The new one just drops in. If you have a topsider, you can suck out whatever fluid you find in there, and replace it with some fresh. Not that its a complete flush of the system, but it couldn't hurt.

Hope this helps..
