Wish there was text, but it seems pretty self explanatory.

If this works, I'll leave a small portion for you in my will.

I'm doing it now, and I'm having trouble getting the pump out. I've got the rear most bolt out, but the other two are nearly impossible to get to. Do you need a special tool? Is it possible to do it with just a wrench/socket?

I don't have an air gun. Do you think it's possible to loosen it while the belt is still on, and then remove the pulley once the pump is out? Also, is it simply counter-clockwise, or should I rotate in the direction the belt rotates?

use a screwdriver and stick it thru one of the opening in the pully and against the housing....that what i did....=)....and it counter clockwise ....the normal loosening of bolt....

I went through your DIY, and in your case, you only replaced the seals. Many of us have the problem with the bearing too. Do you think the bearing is easy to be replaced? or it is tight on the rod and will need to be pressed out. Thanks again for the great DIY.

yes ....if your bearing is bad then it would be best if you used a presser......for those that dont have one a hammer and cresent wrench would do....but be careful and put on the nut in the thread b4 attempting to remoce the bearing ....it on there pretty good but it will come off....just take your time and cautious....
