yep, you have to take the pulley off using a Power Steering pulley puller, easily found for rental at autozone. the part that sucks is putting the pulley back on. when you figure that out, IF you figure that out, everything else will be fine.
Power steering belt to crankshaft pulley. Alternator belt to water pump pulley and to crankshaft. A/C compressor belt to power steering pump and to crankshaft pulley. Smog/Air pump belt to water pump pulley. This is for a truck that had a 2 grove power steering pulley, a 2 grove water pump pulley and a 3 grove crankshaft pulley................
Remove timing belt loosing idling pulley ( move ab with 13 ranch) after take out two bolts holding power steering pulley and remove water pump
2 belts, 1 from the alternator to the water pump pulley and down around the crank pulley and the other belt goes around the water pump and around the crank pulley to the power steering pulley if you have power steering.
what pulley/ there are only about 7 or so on a vehicle. water pump, alternator, ac, power steering pulley
remove the power steering pump
Are you sure that bolt has to come out to change water pump? That bolt should be one of three that hold the p/s pump to the bracket. Those bolts are removed by removing the p/s pulley first. That requires a special puller to r & r the p/s pulley.
You need to remove the entire power steering pump. There are two bolts holding it on at the 12 and 6 o'clock position. Remove these via the holes in the power steering pump pulley. (no need to remove the pulley) Push the pump to the side and you then have access to the water pump bolt. Hope this helps. "G"
You have to pull the serp. belt, coil packs, power steering pump pulley, power steering pump mounting bracket, and then you can get the water pump out.
It depends on what options the car is equipped with. Does it have Air Conditioning? Does it have Power Steering? If it has neither, then the belt runs around the crankshaft pulley, water pump, and alternator. Power steering adds another groove to the crankshaft pulley, and another pulley on the pump itself. Same with Air Conditioning.
no id doesn't require a special trick just remove the 3 bolts that hold the power steering pump and it will give u acess to the water pump placing it on is the hard part
To take the power steering pump pulley off of many later model GM products requires a special puller made for that purpose. It is available from Autozone on their loaner tool program. The same set includes another puller to put the pulley back on. Some water pumps also use the same style pulley.
Remove the power steering pump hose. Remove the wiring harness from the power steering pump. Remove the power steering pump retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new power steering pump.
