I have a 95 GT with a 347 Stroker that I am parting out. I am keeping the engine and trans. I am trying to remove the power steering pump and manual says I need a special tool to remove/install pulley wheel on pump. Does anyone know the part numbers for these installation and removal tools, costs, and best place to purchase them?

I also see that the heads of the bolts mounting the power steering pump to the bracket look like torkx drivers. What type of socket set should I buy to remove these special bolts? Does Sears carry these drivers?

All advice and suggestions will Greatly Be Appreciated!

sears has every thing you need the power steering bolts dont need a torx a regular socket will fit i think its a 10mm or 3/8, or this is what i used because i could not find my torx.

Auto zone or another parts store will rent the puller you nead . it grips the lip right next to the pump shaft , then uses a wrench to work it off . The new pump should come with a threaded rod that screws into the pump shaft . then slide the pullie over that and run it home with a nut and washer . If it did not come with a rod nut and washer just use one thats laying around .

Do not put the pullie on with a hammer the pump will break

Thanks Guys!

I pulled the pulley yesterday. I bought pulley puller from auto zone. I could of just borrowed one with a deposit and returned it but I decided to add a new tool to my tool box.

I also bought a metric 12 point socket set from sears. I was told you need a 12 point to get them off. Also found same syle nuts on drive shaft at rear I have to remove. Well the nuts on the power steering pump are not metric so I wasted some money. I may return them to sears. I did get a 12 point metric socket to fit on one of the drive shaft nuts. It went on with force. I don't know if those nuts are metric or not. May put a post up with that question. I took the bolt out under the pulley holding the bracket onto the engine then I re-installed the pulley so it doesn't get lost and/or the shaft doesn't get rusty. I took the braket off with the power steering pump and air conditioning condensor on it. As always I put the bolts in a zip lock bag that is labeled and squirted some wd40 in it before sealing.

Now I have a problem getting passenger side long tube header off. Looks like I have to take out the starter. I can't reach the starter and I don't know what size the bolt is. One more mystery that needs to be solved.

Thank You and Have a Great Day!
