Power steering pump R&R

[Dvldog 8793]

Howdy
I will be doing the Power steering pump on my '99 and am wondering if anyone has any idea if the entire cast bracket has to come off? This would be the bracket that covers the front Passenger side of the motor and holds the PSpump and the ACcomp in place. It looks like the PSpump can be removed by itself. Any help/hints are appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Try to get your hands on a power steering pump pulley remover and installer. These are two differant tools. IIRC you will find a hidden bolt behind the pulley holding the pump onto the bracket you're looking at. When you pick up the new/reman pump it won't come with a pully. DON'T hammer the pulley back on.

Take a good look at the pressure hose coming out of the back of the pump and going up to the hydro boost. Sometimes now is the easiest time to R&R this line.
