 Drain the engine coolant in to a clean container by removing the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator ( see image ).
















 Next, remove the three bolts on the front of the power steering pump.

 

 












 Remove the remaining bolt on the back of the pump, pull the pump away from its mounting bracket and set it aside, note that it is not necesary to remove the power steering hoses , the way they are routed makes it easy to set the pump aside without disconnecting the hoses and loosing the power steering fluid.

  ( see image ).














 Remove the bolt for the bracket on the driver's side near the distributor.
