Re: Power Steering Pump Removal HELP

you need a power steering pump pulley remover. you need to pull off the pulley while the pump is still in the car. you can then access the bolts that hold it to the bracket. i dunno if you can rent this at the parts house or not. you need this puller. and to make things funner for you, you will need to procure the pulley installer as well. i think a crude version of the installer will be included in the box with the new ps pump.

Re: Power Steering Pump Removal HELP

Thanks for the info on that. Thankfully i am not taking the power steering off the bracket was just trying to get it off the engine as whole. I found out how to do it WHAT A PITA. I will never ever pull another one. I will stick to my older engine with the steering pump 3 bolts and out. and there bolts LOL not those damn hex bolts.
