Power steering pump on my wife's '91 Maxima has given up and am in the process of putting new one in. Am fairly new to the Maxima scene and have not yet had to replace any of the belt driven accessories and would appreciate direction to a site that might give a breakdown of the steps involved in such a procedure. Am a fairly competent shade-tree mechanic but like to research before diving in. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry but I don't have any reference info for you to look at.. I would suggest buying at least a Chilton's manual or even a Nissan service manual for the car if you plan on keeping the Max and doing the work yourself.
you can get a manual by either contacting courtesy nissan at 1-800-527-1909, or you can look on ebay... I have no clue on new price, but have heard of people picking up used ones for $25 on ebay.

BTW, welcome to the Max community!

 

Matt,
Appreciate the prompt reply. I do have a Chilton's repair manual and it is vague, to say the least, as to the exact physical location of the pump itself. I don't want to come across naive, but the remote fluid tank has taken away the one clue I could have used. Also, is it easier to access the power steering pump from up top or below?

Nevermind, a closer inspection of my Chilton's book has given me the answer I need. Am glad I found this forum as it appears to be a good source for a wide variety of Maxima related issues. Thanks for the welcome and look forward to meeting some of you people.
