Thread: 97 Disco 1 V8 Power Steer Pump Removal

Hi guys, my power steering pump is toast. I have removed the pump and housing from the car, which was a big job for me. I have a new pump and low pressure hose.

But I’m not sure how to remove old pump from housing. It’s on the bench and I’ve removed the front plate. Do I just undothe two 10mm bolts at back of housing and the pumps slips out ?? They are REALLY tight, so want to be sure this is correct. Manual doesn’t help.

97 V8

Thanks for the help

UPDATE : I have gone ahead and used some leverage to undo the two 10mm bolts and pump is out of the housing.

However there is a plate (ERR4054) on the bottom of the pump it has two 13mm bolts marked green, for QC I assume. The bolts are class 8.8 marked A K. This plate needs to be transferred to the new pump. If I can get them undone what torque setting should I use to mount on the new pump. Looks important. None of this is in the manual.IMAG0218.jpg
