Message So I farked up and ran my Z with no PS fluid for 30 miles and a few days later my PS pump started ticking and then a few days later quit working. When it quit working it jumped the accessory belt off and I drove it for another 6 miles not knowing what was going on. Hopefully no permanent engine damage but since its on a different belt I think my internals are good still.

So I am wondering how hard it will be to replace the PS pump? Never done it before. Is it something I can do myself, from a pit, or should I just have a mechanic do it? What all do I have to remove to get to the PS pump? Not looking forward to this job but if its not too bad then I can do it.

I have a TT PS system, with HICAS deleted and I have a few detailed questions about going to an NA pump:

1) will I need to replace the mounting bracket with an NA mounting bracket?
2) will I need to replace any hoses?
3) is there any electrical accomodations required going from TT -> NA pump?

Thanks in advance and any additional input is welcomed and appreciated.
