[V8] Hydraulic pump removal

[Ron Wainwright]

Pretty easy...but will be messy for sure.
This is how I did mine,
I worked from the top...you might be able to work from
the bottom of the motor.....but I took the rad fan out
(X2 10mm bolts). Then you can remove the serp belt by
using a GOOD 13mm box end wrench counter clockwise to
losen the tension on the serp belt tensioner shock.
****FYI**** to make losening the tensioner easier you
can remove the 10mm bolt @ the top of the tensioner
shock located @ the top of the pass side t-belt
cover***** 
Jack the car up & removed the belley pan. I then
removed the four bolts for the AC Comp (13mm) & got it
out of the way, being carefull not to crimp the trans
cooler lines.
 I took the driver side air filter tube off (1X 10mm
bolt). I then drained most of the hydrolic fluid from
the resiviour. Loosen the 3 bolts @ the PS Pump for
the hoses & remove them. You have a 19mm, 13mm & 17mm.
 Now you have the pump bolts to remove. There is a
bracket that the pump attaches to. There are four @
the back (10mm if I remember correctley) & 2 @ the
front (all so 10mm I think). Remove those & the pump
comes rite out the front.

 I've never broken one open before...so I can't speak
on that.
