Your power assist ceased working to show its distaste for its
owner's physical abuse and lack of maturity. I suggest you go to the
Pontiac dealer with a wad of 100's and a jar of Vaseline. There, seeing
that it is an Indian establishment, they will tie you to a spinning
wagon wheel and chant "BOHICA! BOHICA" while some chucklehead who was a
janitor in an elementary school last month changes your pump. This is
the recommended procedure.
Hope this helps!
