I'm stumped, i've removed one bolt from the front and a total of 3 from the rear of the pump and it still will not come out (even two on each side). Can someone tell me the general area of where the remaining nuts/bolts are or what is holding it on? I've removed the lines and belt of course.

just remove the 4 bolts on the bracket... when we pulled my 4a-fe we left the entire PS unit in there for the time being

don't do it though... unless you have a manual steering rack, you'll be oh-so unhappy... i'm on a quest for a FWD manual steering rack..... it's HARD to turn... way harder than a car that never came with PS.....

Oh baby yes is it harder.. (speaking from fact since my pump took a dive on me I think)... No PS sux for dead turning or very slow speed turning.

I know about not having power steering, i already removed my lines anyway and took it for a drive, it's not much harder to turn than a manual steering box. I'm having trouble seeing anything in the area of the powersteering, i felt around for quite a while and couldn't locate any more than what i removed.
