I'm trying to get mine off. I got three bolts that look like they hold it on. Is there something else that holds it on? I don't have to take the pulley off, do I? I don't see anything else that could be holding it on, but it's not bugding.

Any advice? That and the crank pulley are the only things in the way to getting my timing cover off.

Looks like there are 4 bolts holding it on.
I just looked on rockauto.com really quick and it shows 4 bolt holes on the pump.

Hmm. Wow. I really shouldn't be working in my glasses, then, lol. My contacts are a hell of a lot stronger. I'll go look for that last bolt later. It felt like something else was holding it on, but I couldn't find it for the life of me, lol.

the 4th bolt you probably didnt see is on the bottom left of the pump right behind one of the lines for the pump. you will need a puller to get the crank pulley off.

Yeah, that's the one I missed. I found it just now. I gotta bring home tools from work Monday, though. I don't have a line wrench to fit the fitting on the line.

And I figured I'd need a puller. AutoZone should probably rent them, no?

yep i rented a puller from advanced auto. its possible to take that bolt off without taking off the line if you dont want to deal with bleeding the system and having fluid drip everywhere. just use a wrench instead of socket and the bolt will just stay with the pump.

Yeah, I looked at it again, and I think that's what I'll do. I just wasn't sure if the line was too close to get all the threads out.

It just sucks cause for some rediculous unknown reason, I do not have a 10mm wrench ANYWHERE in my house. It really sucks cause I was motoring right through everything, and then I hit a ****in' brick wall cause I don't have a 10mm wrench at home. **** me, lol.
