I'd asked this a couple weeks ago but got no replies, has no one ever replaced a w201 power steering pump? I have no idea how the hell to get the thing out. I *think* the pully has to come off, looks like 3 bolts, well I sure as hell can't get 'em off. I figured I'd get 'em off the replacement tonight to prove thats the way it goes. Well here I am snorting and fighting with the thing when it occurs to me I'll have to get 'em off the one actually in the car. Theres absolutely no way I can hold that pully tight enough to get the bolts off without seriously mauling the pully. I'd bet with a c-clamp on it I could pull 'em or with an air gun but theres no place to put the gun in the engine bay. Maybe with 2 wrenches at the same time? I'll have to get growing that extra arm! -Curt
