ok i got those 3 bolts out, undid the hoses from the resevoir uptop, the
pump itself is lose ( i can wiggle it) but it sure as heck doesnt seem to
have enough room to come out.  Im guessing it lifts UP to come out?  I took
a break cause i got PS fluid everywhere so i dont want that dripping in my
eyes.  Next I will finish taking the hoses off of the top of the PS pump
itself but i'm just curious about the room i will have to slide the pump
out.  Should i just go ahead and try to take that big wheel off the front of
the pump? do i need to take anything else off to get the pump to come out of
the slot/hole ?
