Hey guys. I'm replacing the power steering pump on my 1998 XJ8L.
I pulled the old on off.
That was exciting.
I checked the new one and it look the same. It did not come with the small sort of 'C' shaped braket, so I pulled it off the old one and put it on the new on.
I am having trouble putting it back on.
There does not seem to be any threads in the mounting bracket holes.
Are there supposed to be nuts on the back end of the bolts, on the back side of the mounting bracket? I didn't see any when I took it off, but I don't see how it's held in place otherwise.
-Thanks

Then maybe I misunderstood what you wanted a picture of. That C shaped bracket is on the PSP. The fourth picture down I purposely left the PSP to bracket bolts loose so you could see how it's attached. Albeit, the bottom bolt is almost not visible because the angle of the picture was off.
Just for clarifying purposes... the power steering pump bolts to the belt tensioner bracket which then bolts to the block. The idler pulley that you mentioned is on the other side of the block. The idler pulley bolts to the alternator bracket which is then bolted to the block. I have an engine out and can give you a better picture but I need a little bit more information on exactly what you need. Let me know and I'll be glad to help.
