Do i need to remove the pulley of the power steering to remove the pump itself? Or can the bolts be removed without removing the pulley?

Re: Power steering pump
You can probably access the pump mounting bolts through the holes in the pulley. This is how my other cars have been set up.2002 Silver Firebird A4<br />T-Tops, Leather, Y87, W68, Chrome Wheels<br />Bone Stock -
Re: Power steering pump
There's a special P/S pulpy puller, Its not a regular pulley puller. I tried my normal one and bent the damn thing in half nearly. Local parts store should have one to rent.Comment

You can get the nuts off going thru the holes in the pulley, that's the way i did mine during my engine rebuild and the swap.

Re: Power steering pump
When I did mine I took it off and then used the puller to get the pulley off. Then used a vise to put the pulley back on. You'll need to reuse the pulley since the new one will come without the pulley.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Re: Power steering pump
Comes out fine with the pulley on through the pulley cutout holes.
Need puller to remove, and you can just use the pulley bolt itself to drive the pulley back onto the pump.Drivetrain Moderator - "There are no stupid questions, only stupid people!"

Re: Power steering pump
I have actually done it both ways. Taking the pulley off first will save a lot of work. Autozone will loan you the puller with a deposit and you have a full 90 days to return it to get your full deposit back. If you try it without the correct puller you can also damage the pulley which will cost you more in the long run.... Also check you hoses for leaks and replace them if needed.Comment
