Power steering pump removal instructions needed.
I don't actually need theis right now but want to have for future referance, although I could have used this a couple weeks ago installing the Kooks LT on the driver's side. There appear to be 4 bolts that hold a mounting bracket to the front of the left head. This bracket holds the alternator and the p/s pump. The alternator comes off very easy. Three bracket bolts are easy to remove, but 1 is tucked behind the p/s pump pulley, making it hard to get a socket on from the front and an open end wrench from the top. . The p/s pump appears to be held onto the bracket by at least 2 bolts, but they are covered by the p/s pump pulley. The pulley is plastic with a pulling groove in the front part of its hub. The shaft has a nice center, but the front face of the pulley is only about an inch away from the front cross frame rail, so it doesn't appear you can remove the pulley with the p/s pump in place. Will someone please respond with the procedure. It might make installing Kooks easyier for future readers. :cheers:

I can generate this procedure off the CD manual but it's got a lot ancillary tasks that need to preceed it to accomplish this as you can see below.
I helped a buddy put in his Kooks last week and we didn't have any problems installing them without moving the psp. We did jack the engine but, other than that, it went the same as the FLP's and the LGM's I've done also.
1] Remove the Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV). Refer to Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) Replacement in Antilock Brake System.
2] Remove the Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) bracket. Refer to Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) Bracket Replacement in Antilock Brake System.
3] Remove the power steering fluid reservoir. Refer to Remote Power Steering Fluid Reservoir Replacement .
4] Remove the power steering pump pulley. Refer to Power Steering Pulley Replacement .
5] Remove the following components from the power steering pump:
The power steering reservoir outlet pipe/hose. Refer to Power Steering Reservoir Outlet Pipe/Hose Replacement .
The power steering pressure hose. Refer to Power Steering Pressure Hose Replacement .
6] Remove the power steering pump mounting bolts (3) from the power steering pump (2).
7] Remove the following components from the power steering pump rear bracket (1):
The power steering pump front bracket (3).
The power steering pump (2).

Thanks Patches; I'll be storing this for future referance that hopefully will not have to be done.
I had trouble getting the drivers side Kooks headers in, but once I found the secret, I'm sure I could do the next one a lot quicker. :yesnod:
