Hi Guys,
I have an 87 iroc, 305 tpi, ac. I've gotten all of the brackets off to remove my water pump except the ps bracket. How do I do this? I can't get this thing off. I see three bolts, 1 bottom, 1 block , and 1 into water pump. Is there anyone?
Thanks

 

Does anyone have a response to this thread? I am in the exact same spot, also with the same vehicle as aforementioned.

 

Hi, you caught me online. I was able to get the bracket to move out of the way. Just loosen them up as much as possible and you can swing it away. I may be a little hard if it hasn't been moved in a while but you will be able to do it. It worked for me.

 

That's my issue, the bracket/pump assembly won't swing at all. I have removed the top nut that hinges the pump assembly in place, the bolt below it that allows for sideways adjustment, along with the bolt on the other side that allows for vertical movement.

NOTHING.

I need to figure out how to get the power steering pump to move as I need to replace the belt and reduce the slack that will keep the new belt from slipping....

Maybe I need to post some pix of where I currently am?

 

yes, post some pics. If I can't remember what I did I'm sure someone here will help you out.

 

Thanks... will post pix in a few.

 

Some pix

 

one more...

 

One more bolt from the back of the steering pump below the bolt in pic # 3.

 

kauboy is correct. imagine my disspointment when my water pump lost its seal after only 200 miles on a rebuild.. good luck

 

got it.... Thanks guys!

 

that bracket setup is one of the most pointlessly convoluted things GM has ever done... a swap to the 68-75 setup really simplifies things.

 

TRUTH

 

any exploded view pics of how it goes back togeather?

 

Or, a serpentine set up.
