Power steering 4th Bolt hell....HELP

[mxchick]

1998 5.4 4x4....I'm blessed with the 4 bolt nightmare on my power steering pump. I'm just trying to move the assembly enough so I can get the timing cover off. I have the 1st 3 bolts off, but the 4th has me screaming. I've used every swivel & extension I can throw at it. Any tips. We have bad weather coming & I need my truck.

I always pull the pulley off. It's just too much frustration working through and around that thing. Taking the pump off, and then going through the same nightmare putting it back on. The puller that Harbor Freight sells works great for the job. If you've got a good set of ratcheting wrenches even better.
