Power steering pump on a mk6 escort van
 

Evening all. Has anyone changed one of these buggers? I am attempting it right now and I am slightly baffled how I get the pump out of the carrier? I am struggling to remove the 10mm bolts behind the pulley. I'm guessing pulley of but how?

Any ideas folks?

done 1 bud it was fiddly as fuck i did it with a ratchet spanner and miniture socket was fiddly but took 1hr all in removing/refitting

I have loosened the bolts behind the pully as far as they will go which is up to the pulley now I am trying to prise it out but it doesn't seem to be playing ball

I cant remeber exactly it was 2years ago i just rem removing and bungin the pipes going onto pump then loosened/removed fan belt and then just removed bolts 1 was a bastard then wiggled it out!

Well it seems the pulley has to come off. Bit of a problem when the puller is in the garage next door. I had to get this done yesterday so I fitted shorter bolts behind the pulley making it actually possible to do. All done now though.
