Power steering DIY or mechanic job?

Hunter92 · Jan 27, 2013

Evening folks! Power steering stopped working earlier, did 3 point turn on mud in the farm and then the steering got REALLY heavy, now it doesn't work at all.

I don't know an awful lot about mechanics etc so would i be best getting a garage to fit the new pump assuming it's the pump thats gone or tackle it myself? Its been making a weird noise lately up until tonight when i turnt the wheel

Thank you's

if you have to remove pump ,undo or loosen botls holding pump pulley before removing belt a screw driver etc held against a bolt head and socket will help if they are tight to stop pulley turning
