the threads on my power steering pump bracket are stripped out. It's on a '97 ss camaro. What's my best option for fixing this the quickest way? I have the alternator and the serpantine belt off and the power steering pump bolts.

 

Helicoil kit.

 

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking. I just didn't know if there would be another way. Thanks though

 

I had to do the same thing - it worked fine.

 

Replace the whole bracket (lots of trouble) or heli-coil or thread insert (much easier). Those are the real choices.

 

yeah, I discovered this after going through the joyous experience of replacing the opti. I was happy and thought it was all done, but nope. I'm going to go with a helicoil kit though.
