How to remove the ac pump?

[interloper393]

Anyone have a guide on how to get the a/c pump out? removed everything else but i can see an easy way to remove it

Do you have to remove the power steering and all the pulleys n belts?
cheers

It wasn\'t that difficult iirc. I left the ps in place, just removed the belt. Two long bolts I think, wasn\'t that tricky at all.

[interloper393]

its 4 bolts n the last one was a total fooker to get out u lied to me memski... no christmas card for u!! lol..

Glad its out noo, takes up so much space and im toying with removing the power steering now and that a  be that whole side of the bay empty

cheers anyway peeps

If you remove the power steering let me know mate as I want to put mine back in! Might be able to do a deal? My setup at the moment uses an electric pump from a small hatch. Its good for track but too stiff for drifting.

any pics royal of your setup? how easy is it to fit bud, cn maybe do a swop

I don\'t think it would be hard to sort out? its just bolted in there. There\'s a lot of space in my engine bay though so depends how much stuff is removed form yours. I\'ll try to get some pictures this week. I need to check its all do-able for me as my alternator has been moved as well. That may need to be put back in its normal place.

theres a **** load removed from me engine bay bud so i think it shud be ok is it the saxo pump?

[royal]

I think so ? I\'ll need to check with John Yorke who used to own the car.

hey
what belt did you end up using?
i took all the rad pipes and wee thing at the front out 2nite,
but not the pump as i need the belt 1st?

[interloper393]

u dont need the belt bud, just means u wont have power steering, gives u a chance to see if ya wanna remove it

[weejimmy]

good point lol
what a ****, been busy today heads not quite working.:Tongue1

[weejimmy]

oh by the way on thate note if you use a 206 eletric one its a lot stronger than the saxo / 106 one. (power steering one)
im prety shure the rally cars use it too.
