So my steering cable broke on my SJ. How would you go about changing this?
It depends on how tight/sticky the white cap that holds the steering cable at the back of the hull is. It's really hard to get anything but pliers on it with the pump in. Pulling the pump is only 4 bolts and 2 hose clamps.I have read that you do not need to take the pump off, how much easier is it to do it with it off?
Oh so its nothing hard to do really?

Make sure not to put the new cable in a position where it will bind inside the engine compartment, and make sure it doesn't rest on the waterbox where it can melt, or doesn't touch any sharp edges.
