Have to replace the power steering pump and pully.

Hello,

The water pump pulley can be removed by removing the mounting bolts. One thing to keep in mind is that you first want to loosen the bolts before removing the belt. It will make it easier to loosen those bolts.

You will need a special tool to replace the pulley on the power steering pump. Those tools can be rented from just about any of your local auto parts stores.

I have attached the replacement procedure for the water pump and the pulley, belt and the power steering pump and pulley.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

Your information was very helpful. The only problem I am having is getting
the water pump pulley replaced. I don't have enough room to get in there.

I didn't have to replace the water pump, just the pulley.

Are you not able to put a wrench on the bolts of the pulley?
