Removing Power Steering Pump
 

I need help!!! I am trying to take the PS pump off of my 1988 300E and rebuild it. I have gotten the top 2 screw out but can not get the pump out. I believe there is a screw behind the pulley. Any help on how to get this off would be greatly appreciated. I need to get it off because I have other things taken apart as well and also need to get to the belt tensioner to replace it. Please help. Thanks Brandon

From memory, there should be two bolts on the bottom. One is a long bolt that runs through the PS pump mounting bracket, with the head on the front and a nut securing it on the back. There should also be a short bolt that secures it from behind. Four bolts in total (I think).

You need to get the pulley off I believe... to get at that one.

Thanks for the replys. You were both right. There are four bolts and I had to remove the pulley to get the last one out. That was a fun job. I got it off and also pulled the belt tesioner off to replace that. I just hope it is as much fun to put back on on as it was to take off. Thanks, Brandon
