The housing is still the same, the Electric part is on the front of the pump.

Just use extensions, i pulled mine of last night in about 20 minutes.

what he's saying is that you can get to the bolt through the hole in the pulley.

I actually di it a hard way and put an extension through 1 of the holes in the puylly to break the bolt loose then got it as far out as i could the used some needle nose plyers to get the rest. Only reason i didi it this way was because i didi not have a power steering pully puller and it ws to late to rent 1 from autozone. lol i would just go to AZ and rent 1 its free you just have to put a security deposit down i think its $40 that you get back when you bring it back.

I use a 1/4" ratchet with a 14mm shorty, once its backed off, then pull on the housing and it all comes out. OR just undo the PS pump + take off the clamp

hmmm............. so well i cannot get a shorty onto it, it requires a deep socket on mine for some dumb reason. And i cannt go through the pulley hole either. So basically i need the powersteering pulley puller is what your saying
