3rd Gen Serpentine System Qs

Hello,

I have aqquired a 3rd gen serpentine system and wasnt thinking when it was taken apart.
1. Does anyone have a diagram of where all the bolts go?

2. Is the water pump a short or long design?

3. Is the PS pump pulley pressed on or just held on by the hex shape bolt?

Thanks a ton!!

The following may be helpful (long, reverse rotation water pump):

the power steering pump pulley is press on. the hex fitting inside the shaft is to help prime the pump by spinning it counter clockwise. ALSO i think, i not sure, but GM did press on in case of shaft lockup. common on hydraulic pumps

Re: 3rd Gen Serpentine System Qs

yeah get the puller at autozone, like 20 bucks to rent, it looks like this pic ive included. instructions on the box. . Ive included a link to help aide in the removal, the process is the same as in the link regardless if it for a jeep, it works on our pumps too. http://www.stu-offroad.com/steering/...pspulley-1.htm

to install the pulley, theres a tool included in the autozone puller kit that threads into the powersteering pump's shaft, evenly and slowly and evenly turn a adjuster nut till it wont turn and the shaft is flush with the pulley like how it is before removal.
