Not the easiest to say the least. The problem is that there isn't any room to work with on there. I pulled it when I swapped my motor out thinking it would be easier to take the pump off and put it back on then drain the system and blah blah blah...

It was so tight that I just pulled the pump and installed it before putting the motor back in.

If you have any other questions, let me know...

It's diy for someone that knows their way around an engine. It's not hard. But you know this because you already have a service manual correct??? If not, you need to get one.

If it was a CAI thread you would of had 30 pages of replys :P lol

But for real.. I had my car on a lift when I was installing my y-pipe and I saw the PS pump.. It looks like it can be a real pita to do it without a lift... lol
