My 85 gsl has the power pump and all the hoses in there. but no pully and as far as I can tell, no way to fit one to the pump.
anyone no how this is supposed to work?

 

the ps pump should have a pully or at least a place to put the pully where it would bolt on...unless someone cut it off

 

The face of the pump has only a hole

 

oh man...sounds like a new/used pump is needed then...when i had mine out the front had a rod thingy with teeth that connected to the pully...sorry about the lingo...still getting into the whole mechanics thing

try atlantarx7.com ...or rx7world.com

 

It doesn't seem to have any splines or any way to even turn a shaft, atleast not that I can see.

 

Then again I didn't think 1st gens other than gsl-se had ps.

 

I have a gsl with powersteering. the ac and the ps shares the same mounting rack.

 

have you ever taken the ps pully off?

 

I need to know if the shaft that I am lacking can be bought and replaced

 

i've taken the pully off to take out the pump for replacement...the shaft cannot be removed easily, i know that...

 

Well, in ROTORCOASTER's case, there is no shaft. There is an empty hole about 1.5-2 inches deep. It's not a continuous diameter hole. However, it is all smooth. It doesn't look as though there is anything in the hole to grab hold of a shaft, should one be inserted. It's really quite confusing to look at, and try to visuallize how a shaft would attach.

a pic might help someone else answer this riddle

 

I'll see what wee can do about getting some pics soon. It's still in the car, and not very accessible camera-wise.

either way to fix it has to be pulled out...pull it out and get a clear pic...i've heard of people rebuilding with good cores on these...maybe a rebuild is in order?

 

Yeah, good point. We'll see what we can do tomorrow.

 

if you haven't taken out a ps pump before its gonna be messy...you have to disconnect 2 hoses, let it drain, unbolt the 3 bolts on the front, then you would normally unbolt the pully...and take off...its a bitch if you have an AC compressor in the way, BE CAREFULL with the AC hoses if it is there...

this is how i had to take mine out...i have an 84 gsl-se...dunno if they are the same...

 

There is A/C, but he's planning on removing that permanantly anyway, so no big deal.
