Re: How the heck do you remove the power steering pump ? Just get a stubby wrench and crank away. Takes about 15 minutes to get the bolt off that's between the pulley and the bracket. The other two come off easily with a ratchet wrench.
I can shift faster than you.

Re: How the heck do you remove the power steering pump ? You can also just purchase a power steering puller/installer to actually remove the pulley. I makes taking the pulley off a 2 minute ordeal. I picked mine up from the Snap-On truck, but you can find it elsewhere.

Re: How the heck do you remove the power steering pump ? Just for future reference. Go to your local Autozone and get a loaner tool, "power steering puller" for ten bucks! You get your money back, plus tax when you bring the power steering pulley puller back. You can get a loaner tool for almost any job for your car. Just keep that in mind next time you get stuck!
