I'm in the process of replacing the water pump. I got one side clear, but I can't figure out the other side. It looks like I need to remove the power steering pulley and the power steering pump. DO I NEED TO REMOVE THE POWER STEERING PULLEY??? I used to have a GTA with serpetine setup and didn't remember it being this hard....this 4 belt crap sucks! Here is a pic of why I think I need to remove the power steering pump or atleast the bracket. I can't get at this last bolt holding the pump in and I won't be able to install the water pump correctly without this power steering bracket out of the way.

 

you don't need to remover the pulley from the pump. there is another bolt toward the top of the pump bracket you need to remove & a nut on the back side of of the pump to remove which is the hardest 1 to get off, the power streeing pump bracket may also be attached to the exhaust manifold bolts. once you have all the bolts & nuts out, you cam lay the pump assembly to the side, you may need to tie it up to keep it out of the way.

 

Thank you very much for the helpful information. I was stuck on the one nut way way in the back. I can't believe how many nuts and bolt are on those brackets!!! Once I got that nut off you were right just move it to the side. I'll finish up the install tomorrow after I make a trip to the parts store for some little things to help me put the new pump on. Thank you.
