Power Steering Pump Replacement
Howdy y'all, so my power steering pump started to go out so I decided to tackle this on my own. Well I spent around 3-4 hours today on it and it's still in there due to how difficult everything is to get to. I finally got all of the bolts out that hold the pump to the engine, but I'm struggling to get the lines off, primarily the high pressure line on the pump. The pulley did not want to remove with the puller tool, but I sprayed it down with wd-40 so that should ease that problem. My question is does the hard, high pressure line's fitting screw directly into the power steering pump? Or does it go to a fitting that has a free spinning base for removal?

Good luck with the pulley coming off Tareed, when I was working on my timing components, I used 2 different types of pullers on mine and never did get the pulley off. Not sure about the line connector though, sorry, but I do remember a thread not too long ago on removing the line, I will look around for it.

Well the high pressure fitting didn't give up last night but I managed to get the pulley off. Decided to go ahead and pull the fan and fan shroud to get better access and soaked the connection in WD-40 so hopefully it'll be easier today. I'm going to bolt the pump back to the engine to see if I can get it to come off today. The nut is supposedly at 48 lb-ft of torque.
