Power steering pump on 85 chevy PU?
I have searched the net and have a Chilton's and Haynes repair manual, but there is no place that shows a blown up diagram and / or show you in pictures how to remove the pump. I have loosened all bolts but it still does not move.

There is a hidden bolt behind the pump that bolts the pump bracket to the block.
Clean up the area and search for it.
It has a 9/16 head.

i have been out of the loop for 3 weeks, but here you go. Not many realize that your alternator is also bolted to the the pump and to remove it you must remove the alternator also. I believe on the top of alt. there is tow bolts and two on the bottom also that need removal but the main bolt on the bottom also goes through the top of your pump. Remove them all and loosen all your belts, the pump should swing up and down, and upon removal of these bolts your pump should slide out of its bracket. If this isn't the case in your situation take the vehicle to your nearest auto zone and they can show you at no charge, they wont do it but can assist you in this area.
