Studs on Power Steering Pump
I bought a power steering pump from NAPA, but the mounting studs aren't attached.
Is it possible to get the ones off the old pump and put them on the new one?
Should the power steering pump come with the mounting studs already attached?

Also, don't force the old studs in the new pump if they hang up. Yesterday, Jim Shea was saying the newer pumps may have metric threads.

You will probably find that the larger stud is metric in the resevoire and your stud is SAE. I got 2 rebuilt pumps and they both had metric threads in only that location. You will have to buy the correct stud or you will cross thread it. Jim Shea pointed out that the later models had the metric stud. It seems that all replacements are metric; even if you ask for the earlier year model pump.
