I have read all the very good tutorials on rebuilding p/s pump and removal but this is killing me. I need help with the pressure hose bolt that goes to the pump. It is on an angle and it seems that I can get a 17 mil wrench on it but there isn't any room to put on some leverage because it is on incredibly tight. Any tips would be gratefully helpfull.

I guess I am on my own on this one.

Did you try from under the car? I remember it being a total pita but I can't remember what I ended up doing.

the bottom bolt needs to be accessed from the bottom of the car. top bolt and all the other bolts could be accessed from the top. also it would help to remove the alternator but make sure you disconnect your neg battery terminal first.

Yes thanks, I had to get the bottom bolt with an air gun, real long extension, 1/2" impact swivel socket just to get it off. The high pressure hose bolt would not come off at all so after I finally got the pump off, I pulled it out and hit it with the air gun again.
