1997 Oldsmobile Aurora power steering pump

The middle asking price for a used one is $99.95, across 7 live eBay listings for the 1996–1999 generation. Half of them ask between $63.63 and $156.61. That’s what sellers are asking, not what buyers paid. Sold prices aren’t published anywhere you can count on, and asking prices usually run about a quarter higher than what things sell for — so we say which one this is.

How it comes off

1. Turn the belt tensioner to slacken the belt and slip it off.
2. Put a rag under the hoses and take them off. Fluid will come out.
3. Remove the mounting bolts, on some cars through the holes in the pulley.
4. Lift it out and keep it upright.

The usual order on most cars. A 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora may hide a screw or a clip somewhere else: if a piece will not move, look for what is still holding it before you pry harder.

What to bring for it

• 10 to 19 mm sockets, shallow and deep, with extensions and a swivel
• A breaker bar or a long ratchet for the belt tensioner
• A pry bar
• Rags, for the fluid that comes out with a pump
• Cardboard to lie on, for a starter from underneath

Typical sizes, not a promise for every car. Everything to bring to a pull-your-own yard.

Is it worth pulling?

That depends on what the yard charges for it and how long it takes to get off the car, and on where it sits against the other 53 parts on a 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora that have a market. The full sheet for this vehicle ranks all of them by what you save and by what you clear.
