Swivelling power steering pump on Caprice

Does the pwr steering pump swivel, like the alternator ? What bolts do I need to loosen? There is a hole in the pulley on the ps pump. Is that for a rathet extension to get to a bolt ?

I want to swivel the ps pump away from the waterpump. It's an 85 Caprice V8.

Thanks

85 Caprice V8 - Water pump installation.

Does the pwr steering pump swivel, like the alternator ? What bolts do I need to loosen? There is a hole in the pulley on the ps pump. Is that for a ratchet extension to get to a bolt ?

___________________________________________

  1. The PS pump pivots on one of its bolts.
  2. Remove all attaching bolts except loosen pivot bolt.
  3. Pulley hole is for bolt head access.

Note - There must be free access to WP mounting area; it is so easy to damage WP gaskets during installation. You may have to remove the PS pivot bolt and push the PS pump aside to assure access. Sometimes a PS pump mount bracket must also be removed.

Good luck.

Thanks. I did the water pump once before, 5 years ago. Maybe this time it will be easier !
