I am in the process of taking my motor apart ( 1990 pickup 350ci) and wanted to know if anyone had any tips for taking the damn bolt out from behind the pump.
When I did my 01 camaro I just bought a cheap wrench and ground it down to fit in that little gap. This time that trick isn't working.
go to the local auto parts store and rent their PS pulley puller. Remove the pulley and then you can put a socket on it.
i was talking about the bolt behind the resivoir, that holds the mounting bracket to the block
What kind of engine are you taking the P/S pump off of? LS1 fbody, LS1 Corvette, 4.8/5.3/6.0L truck, OBS Vortech, OBS pre-vortech?
Greg, he said a OBS pre Vortec (1990). You need to go get a P/S pulley removal tool from O'Reillys. You can either rent it or buy it. You need the tool to remove AND install the pulley. Once you take the pulley off, you have full access to the bolt in question.
yeah, thats what I thought he said thats why I suggested the same procedure. Since he didn't like my answer I think I'll go crawl up in a ball and cry :cry:
it's not that i didn't like your method, i just ended up leaving it on the motor when i pulled it.
Thats what I would have done, too, since you won't need it on a gen3 setup. What are you converting over to?
