i was looking at my car and i noticed the water pump had gone bad so now i need to replace it......i took a look at it and it looked like i need to either remove the power steering pump bracket or just take the whole thing off or maybe just take off the pully....or is there an easier way to get the water pump replaced

removing the bracket should give you enough access to be able to remove the bolts

well i started to work on the water pump and with the power steering braket theres a bolt in the back behinde the pulley that you cant get off because once you get it most of the way undone the bolt hits the pulley and wont go out any farther....does this mean i have to take off the pulley or is there another way to get the braket loose enough to get the bolts for the water pump
