SPAM: Re: [Shotimes] Steering Pump Removal/Installation

[Donelson Don]

Always something ! 

But the pulley is also important .... HA .. U will need to loosen both 14 mm nuts on the respective pulley tensioners ( both alt. and pwr steering ) and use a 5 mm allen head .I use a long extension which allows u to loosen the pulley without removing the upper timing cover.

Once all belts are removed, put a screw driver or large allen head wrench in between the pwr steering pully and the bracket. Than use a 19 mm socket to remove the nut and locking washer.

THAN .. the pwr steering pump will come off !
