I need some 1990s SBC serpentine belt Power Steering Pump pulley Removal Help.
I need to remove the ps pulley from the ps pump to get to the bolts out from behind the ps pulley to remove the ps pump/reservoir. (theres the serpentine belt bracket in between the pulley & pump/reservoir) theres a allen in center of the ps pulley, but how do I hold pulley when its in the vehicle ? is there a tool to hold the collar around allen ? is the allen bolt in center of ps pulley reg threads or left hand threads ?
I did get the complete serpentine belt brackets with a/c pump and idler pulleys on passengers side off and I got the alt & ps pump & serpentine belt bracket off the drivers side. but theres gota be a easier way to remove the power steering pump, so I can remove the serpentine belt bracket. looks like if I could get ps pump pulley off so I can remove the bolts from behind the ps pulley to get the ps pump & reservoir off with out bending the pulley so a bent pulley don't eat the belt when I'm done. I had a ***** of a time removing the ps pump to remove the serpentine belt bracket. and motor is hanging on engine stand.
I'm striping the motor to paint it b4 installing it in the Suburban. but how would a guy replace a ps pump with the motor in suburban ? the ps pulley would need to be remved to replace the ps pump in vehicle, but how do you remove the ps pulley ?
Thanks
