vg33e how to remove power steering pump

[shoesandsocks]

What the best and easiest way to remove this on a 96 pathy the fsm doesnt have anything on it anyone with advice would be most appreciated.

Without getting into too much detail, it would appear that there is a bracket on the front behind the pulley, "may or may not have to remove the pulley to get to the 3 bolts" and a bracket in the rear with 2 bolts. "bolts = fasteners" just depends on how you were raised as to what u prefer to call them. other than that i think thats about it unless you want a full description of how to get to that point. i would probably take off my radiator shroud so i didnt lean on it. they r brittle. "well my 96 is anyways" and for the belt u can undo the keeper in the front and adjust the "bolt" on the side right to loosen and left to tighten the belt. tricky to spot it if you have never done it. the fsm pic is a little vague. im not sure how to link the FSM or i would just do that, but the power steering pump section that i saw didnt really have instructions on how to get all the way down to it. just sortof an exploded view starting with the pulley and brackets.

 

hope this helps u out.

Yeah easiest way is to remove the pully along with the radiator

i know on some toyotas with this bracket they put holes in the pulley so u can get to it through them with out removing the pulley
