Trying to remove steering pump
 
Looked online, not much info. I barely got the serpentine belt off. What a pain. I can see two bolts on top of the pump, but I can't see what's holding the bottom on. Trying to get to the thermostat to replace it. Thanx.

2.3 turbo or 2.5 non turbo or 2.2 Diesel?

2.3 turbo has two bolts on top & 1 bolt underneath

Have things completely apart now. Thanx. Anyone have the torque value for the thermostat housing? Dont want to crack it.

Thumb tight with a 1/4" ratchet. or 12NM / 100 inch pounds ( not ft pounds )

Just saw this response. Its all together as of yesterday. I think it got tightened a little more then that. but not crazy tight as I realise that its a plastic housing with small bolts. Thanx for the responses. Car is back on the road and daughter is happy.
