I would think there is a repair kit for this available some where. Does anyone have any easy tricks or tips for this repair?

I mounted it on the fender well and hooked it up to the old wiring and hoses. NAPA also sold the stock replacement windshield washer pump for under $30. _________________ Ernie 87 El Camino "To be Old and Wise, you must first be Young and Stupid" Back to top 2-Elkys Silver Contributor Necoa #: 1192 Location: 13(TX) Joined: Jul 04, 2003 Posts: 834 Year: 1985 Model: El Camino Posted: Thu Aug 21, 2003 9:08 pm    Post subject: I just bought a replacement pump for my 85 at autozone for 16 bucks.. was easy to replace. _________________ 71-Elky Works in progress..

That pump system is not the greatest but I will just replace it. Does anyone know if you have to pull the wiper motor to do this repair?

Install new clip on the new one and slide it back in. Piece of cake. _________________ 71-Elky Works in progress.. Me and my ElkY!

With all the wiring under that area going to the fuse block I could not get it back in. Took the cover off and put it in and put the clip back on and then reinstalled the cover. That makes it even easier. Thanks for all the help!!
