Hello,

The little SOB is not playing nice! I've got hoses, belt and bolts removed from the pump, it is free but will not come out the top or the bottom. Removed vac line and oil cooler hose without success. Began removing the bolts for the pump bracket, got 3 of them then ran into difficulty accessing the ones on the front of the crankcase. It is looking like I will have to remove the fan and shroud to get at those bolts. Will removing fan and shroud followed by crankcase bolts of P/S pump bracket lead to victory?

Show me the way masters.

Thank you!
