Power steering pump removal/install guide? My pump seems to have a slow leak. The leak screwed up my alternator. Can someone point me to a site that shows how to remove it so I can inspect for leaks. And if anyone knows the price to replace that would be helpful.

I am going to replace the seals.

My autozone pulley work perfect today. Also, Wilwaxu is correct - if you can get a wrench behind the pulley you can remove the pump without having to remove the pulley.

It is possible to get the wrench back there. I had to do it when tearing down my motor and while you can only get in a small turn it is possible to do it and IMO probably easier than removing the pulley.

You can work the 3 bolts holding the entire bracket if you can't get the pulley off or if you get the pulley off go for the bolts in the front to take the pump off the bracket. The puller was a little confusing at first but I got it to work. I actually PMed someone else who used it and he told me what to do.

Well, nothing new in the last 4 years since replying last, so don't get your hopes up....
It's a special kind of pulley puller that grips the groove on the snout of the pulley. I think you can rent it from AutoZone, OEM Tools 27031. The same tool can press the pulley back on.
