I did a search and couldn't find anything in the forums, or the rest of the interwebs...so here it goes. I never post in forums and usually only use them for research, but I'm hoping someone has a trick up their sleeve that will help me out. The following is in reference to an M1097A2 (6.5L NA).
Today I started what I thought was going to be a very simple power steering pump swap. I followed the TM to the "T" and I couldn't get the pump out from behind the mounting bracket. I'm assuming that the TM is wrong and I should have removed the pulley first, which I actually tried and failed at doing. So here I am, frustrated, with a power steering pump loose in my engine bay, stuck. The pulley seems to be seized on the shaft and I don't have room to do much with it. I have a pulley removal tool (I actually have three different types) and none of them are compatible with this type of pulley.
So here I am, looking for suggestions. How do I get this dag-gone thing out?
