Steering problem
1997 Dodge Stratus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
We have 1997 dodge stratus with 2.5 l engine, I’m trying to remove the power steering pump from this car. The book and information I got from other people that the bracket need to come out with the pump. I was able to remove the 2 lower bolts and 1 from the top, I cannot find the other bolt to remove the bracket. I can get nearly any tool that I need but I can seen to feel or see how it bolt. The pump is lose and if I could remove the bracket the pump would come out. |

My software doesnt show locations of all of the bolts, but does have a pic of how to get at the upper bracket bolt, maybe this is the one that is holding you up

Some how the bracket needs to come off, I removed the 2 bottom bolts and a bolt on top with no luck. I can't see or feel any other bolt I could loosen the bracket. If I get the bracket of the pump would fall out. |
