Good luck,

When messing with the pump relay always check the wires going into it on cars this old. This is what I stumbled upon on our 86....

$#^&**(^#$!!!!!! Now that felt better,a little.. Well looks like someone had attempted to change that pump out before and snapped one of the bolts right off. I soaked them all with PB and let it sit for several hours and guess what happened on the very first bolt!!

Anyone have any suggestions? I have tapped them tried turning them in both directions. I am afraid to put to much pressure on them as i do not want to break anymore of them off..

Anyone think i will be able to get those broken bolts out with a tap?

Suggestions anyone.....David

David I sent you a PM. You will need to use an EZ Out and extract the broken studs. The new ones aren't cheap either.

That looks like a pretty decent deal on an OEM quality pump.
