Corvette Power-steering pump
right. however since i'm running a procharger the ps pump is clocked so that the inlet is at the 3 O'clock position if your standing in front of the engine. I swear i saw one that had a inlet with a 90 degree bend, i'd like some insight though before i go tearing up a perfectly good pump. has anyone pulled out this pressed fitting? how? I tried the hammer method a little to no avail. help?

ya sorry i guess i didnt say what i was thinking. Can I knock it out? i dont know. that's something i'm wondering. is it just a friction fit? will i have to drill and tap the pump to fit a threaded fitting? is there another option? i'm assuming any type of heat application will ruin the seals in the pump.
A little late to the game, but was it necessary to pull the pulley in order to get the fittings installed? I'm trying to install the 648060 as well as a 620421 90* fitting and there isn't enough room to tighten the 90* fitting onto the adapter. This is on a Vette LS3 accessory drive. I'm not even sure that there would be enough clearance for the fitting if the pulley was removed.
