I have just purchased this SHO, it is in need of a new power steering pump as it forces the steering wheel to the opposite side when I turn the wheel to either the left or right side. I have removed the pulley and front 3 bolts, how in the world can I remove the last bolt which is on the far side towards the back? Also when I was driving this car home, the battery was not good, hardly charging, I noticed that when I was coasting at about 55mph off the gas, as i accelerated again the tranny would slip so I downshifted into 2nd and back into 3rd and then would not slip. Could this be because there wasn't enough current going into the transmissions sensors? I wasn't able to drive the car because after I installed a new battery I started the power steering pump adventure. Last question, to do a fuel pump do I need to drop the tank, or is there an access hole under the rear seat or trunk?
