Anyone repaired PS pump on '97 Camry?

[Robert K]

I have a power steering pump leaking on my wife's 1997 V-6 Camry. I received a repair kit today in the mail (5 seals and 1 gasket= $22.00- what a rip!). I not to worried about actually repairing the pump, but I'm figuring getting it off is going to be the fun part. From the exploded drawing I found, it looks like it might be easiest to actually remove the pump pulley first, then remove the pump. Is this the procedure? I'm just wondering how easy it will be to get at the top bolt holding the pump on with the pulley still on the pump. If anyone has been through this before, I'd appreciate any assistance you might be able to offer.

Grace and peace,

>.< I had mine replaced.. helped my dad do it months ago. I don't remember one lick of the procedure other than having to take off the passenger side wheel to get at it. Mine was leaking so we got a replacement from a junkyard(Sienna PS Pump).
