    Volvo: 1997 850 T-5

    The reservoir on my power steering pump has a leak. I have a new pump
    on order from the local NAPA store. BTW, their price was $159. A
    replacement pump was priced at $611 when I called a Volvo dealer
    yesterday!

    I plan to replace the pump myself. Is this a difficult repair? Getting
    the pump out doesn't look too bad. I am concerned about the high
    pressure line connection. It looks like there is a large (22 mm?) lock
    nut on the line that may be difficult to tighten, or it may require a
    special tool. Any comments appreciated.
