Only pulled a Pulley to replace one that got destroyed.
In hindsight I should have grabbed the reservoir as well.

I have no idea what could be holding my pump on at this point?
The 2 14 mm Bolts ( with rubber insulators ) that face the passenger fender are off. The nut underneath the PS pulley facing the radiator is removed & off.
The 17mm pressure hose is off. The Reservoir is off (it seemed very clean) . I am flummoxed??

each bolt other than the reservoir came off with a great crack and tons of effort. Way over torqued due to whatever stopped the pulley.

Found it! Both a nut and the bolt (14mm) on the front.

For the first time since I was a much younger man , I went to a "pick & pull" today as the reman did not come with a pulley.
Lexus wants way to much for the pulley so this was my best option. 10 minutes & $15.00 later and I am ready for the next step. Still deciding if I am going to be the mechanic for the job.
@damon How is your AC Delco PS Pump going? I am replacing mine, which is 230k miles old. So need some solid reman's

i bought a aftermarket power steering pump but my toyota mechanic said it would "whine"..... so i went to the local junk yard and got a original lexus part with pulley for $50 with 90 day warranty..... that was a couple months ago. .... so far so good!
