  • Remove belt cover, 2 small screws and 2 screws with nuts.
    • Be careful not to drop the metal spacers trapped in the rubber grommets.

    • Belt tension will usually keep the pulley from turning when you loosen the bolts.
  • Remove serpentine belt, inspect and make note belt routing.
    • You can use ½ inch breaker bar but properly sized open end wrench will work.
  • Remove Pulley.

  • Remove pump from engine, 2 Allen head bolts.
  • Remove pump rear cover bolts.
