I busted the plastic nipple on the return line of my power steering pump reservoir tonight- I'm desperate for a replacement. Quick- like tonight or early in the morning.
NAPA only has the entire assembly for $80, and I don't even have a pulley puller to get it working if I bought it anyway.
Anyone have a replacement I can use (even if just for a few days)??
Stupid brittle plastic......

Maybe, but then you would have to come get it....

Stupid Jeep. I'm up to $500 in parts this month, I was trying to save some money too.
I got my steering shaft replaced and broke the reservoir soon after, made a big mess all over everything. $80 later I have a POS remanufactured Vatozone pump that makes more noise new than the old one did with 123K miles. So I flushed all the fluid too.
The only high side is that I have the tightest steering I've had since I bought the thing- the old shaft was terribly sloppy.

I've got one you can have or you can take the resevoir and the pump its attatched to for 20.00, but like Geepfreak, you'd have to come get it. Unless of course you buy my dana 44, then I'd give you the pump and resevoir and deliver it all with a smile :D eh? eh?

I still might take that one from you, I want to change over to hydroboost brakes this winter and I need a working pump to tweak for the first step. I'll remind you next time we have a NAXJA event, I won't be going to FF though.
