Hi, I've been trying to remove the power steering pump and I was able to remove two bolts, one on the top, and another one that looks like the adjuster bolt on the bottom of the pump. This "adjuster bolt" looks like it bolts into the head of yet another bolt, but the head on this particular bolt is a shape that i'm unfamilar with. In any case I can't seem to go any further, and the power steering pump still remains fixed and there is no sign of budging. Is there some hidden bolt somewhere, or a step(s) I'm missing.

Hi chevy106,

The top bolt is 14 mm hex head and it has a bush on the bracket which moves inwards to hold the pump firm. Twist the pump sloghtly and the bush would move away to increase the clearance.

At bottom ajuster, you need to remove the 12 mm hex nut and loosen the adjuster bolt till the belt comes off.

Push the bolt inwards to get it off the pump and you should be able to remove the pump. I believe you ghave drained the fluids and remove the hoses.
