I am trying to replace the power steering pump on my '06 Aveo. Everything I read says to unbolt the pulley and take 2 bolts out remove. Yje fender is 2" from the pulley and it is pressed on. It looks like I need to take the housing/bracket off the front that the power steering and A/C compressor is bolted to. I can't find anything on this brackett to show where the bolts are or how to get it off. Anybody run into this?
Here is a picture of the pump. I take it the 2 bolts are for holding the pump on the bracket. Notice the bolt holes....

To remove that pulley, you need a special " pulley puller " for the power steering pump. My local chain stores rent them for free ($50.00 Deposit, Refundable upon return.) They're easy to use, but I'm not sure ir they'll fit in the gap to the fenderwell, I've not tried it on my Aveo. If it doesn't fit, it's not too hard to raise or lower the engine, with the right tools & equipment (only six bolts, I think, for the Right Hand engine mount).
Yeah, that is what I did, removed the motor mount and jacked the engine up. That gave me clearance, who would of thought you would have to go through that to change a power steering pump.Quote:
