91 Olds water pump pulley. I don't know how to remove it, or if I'm missing something.

Nygarr — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 19:00:37 GMT

Motor 2.5L the replacement pump is a duralast. Look similar but not exactly the same. Removed 8 bolts, 1 alternator bolt. Thought that I could just remove the pulley last,but the pump still will not come off. So my conclusion is the pulley must have a bolt or pin in the center of the pulley that holds the pump still in place. Since the motor is side mounted it is difficult to see. Need to know tool size(s) also.

2002 Oldsmobile Aurora (4.0 V8) power steering problem.

kamron — Mon, 25 May 2009 23:00:51 GMT

You answered another user's post in re power steering for an Olds Aurora. When I turn the wheel to the right, everything is fine, when I turn to the left I have a ton of resistance and it basically feels like there is no power steering whatsoever. I replaced the PS pump and flushed the lines…still no resolution. You mentioned in the other post that it could be a valve in the rack & pinion that could be sticking. I was looking for more info on this. In what part of the rack is the valve located, is that assembly replaceable or am I going to have to replace the whole R&P system?
