Resolved 1G Broke stud on top of PS Pump

[JAW91]

I was working on my car yesterday and I ended up over-tightening and snaping the stud that comes out of top of the powersteering pump and connects to the big powersteering line . I managed to get all of the stud out of the pump but I have no idea where to get another one and most of the junk yards here dont have 1990's. Anybody have any suggestions? (I have a 1990 power steering pump with the V-Belt).

Any nt or turbo cars from 90- 94 with the 2.0 (Im not sure about the 1.8 power steering pumps) will suffice for donor parts, the pumps are all the same. Be sure to replace the orings on that banjo stud before attaching the hose to it again, the old orings will leak and piss ps fluid all over your alternator and kill it.

That specific part in a 90 is not different from a 91-94. And it is not a stud but a valve that cuts the pump off past a specific RPM. You can actually take it apart and use it's internals with the same part from any other 1g if you want to make sure the cutoff RPM stays the same. This thread from Calan should have all the info you need how rebuild modify power steering pump

Well, you can unscrew the banjo stud from the valve without removing the valve itself, or unscrew the entire valve assembly from the pump if you are unable to remove the broken stud from the valve. Personally, Id just grab another stud/valve assembly and throw it in with new orings on the banjo stud and be done with it. I rebuilt my pump cause I had the case and pulley powdercoated, requiring me to disassemble the pump. The rebuild process is really quite easy, and the Gates rebuild kit is less than 20 bucks.

So does gates sell that stud also with the kit? I got the stud out and everything but it snapped and I need a new one.

No, the only way for you to get the replacement is to go to the junkyard and get one. Are there no DSMs at all in your yards, or just no 90 models? As I stated previously, any 90- 94 2.0 DSM will have the correct PS pump for you to grab that stud from. All you do is remove the banjo fitting, then put a screwdriver through the hole in the stud to break it loose, unscrew it and off you go to the parts store to get new orings before putting it all back together. If there are no DSMs in your yards, Id PM some people and see if theyll help you out, myself included.

There are some there definietly but, I wasn't sure about the 90' model pumps until they said it. I can go get one though now that I know
