process for removing PS pump? a lil help from my friends!?

[archaeic_bloke]

hey guys, need some help as to the process for unbolting the PS pump from the engine?

i can see its hinged on one big bolt up top... and i also see 2 bolts below that.. then theres the tension bolt which when i loosen doesnt seem to make anything any looser.. and of course the wheel pulley nut..

a lil help from you guys would be great as to how to remove this?

thanks,

i have an idea but i don't want to try it as there is a lot of tension on that belt and im not one to risk damaging something

i figure...

apply more tension to the tension bolt.. un bolt those 2 bolts below which are on the bracket.. then release the tension on the belt by loosening the tension bolt.. pop off the belt, turn the pulley wheel and undo the hinged bolt.

please correct if im wrong thanks

First: Untension the belt. youll have to loosen the 12mm bolt under the front pulley. ( the bolt that goes through the tensioner arm to the long tensioning bolt. )
- now turn the long tensioning bolt(12mm) counter-clockwise.

Second: Once the bolt is loose, with all your might, push on the PS pump to budge it down a bit so the pulley can turn a bit.

Third: once the pulley can turn a bit, youll notice that 14mm bolt in there. there is a hole in the pulley that lines up with that 14mm bolt. get a 3/8 drive 14mm deep socket ( fits best) and loosen the bolt. after this youll notice the PS pump is loose.

now, go back to that 12mm bolt that holds the tensioner bolt to the bracket, and take it out completely, and remove the belt, ant the 14mm bolt as well. and there you go....

hope that helps... .

if your looing for a non hicas pump, PM me, we modify OE units and the brackets so its a mini pump.
