[V8] Hydraulic pump removal

[Dave Head]

Once the serpentine belt, electric fan and PS hoses are out of the way, 
remove the bolts holding the PS pump to its bracket. Slide it forward, 
rotate it 90 degrees and angle the pulley end down. As it comes out it 
will go vertical. Then pull it up and out slowly. Very quick job this 
way. Another Keith trick.
