    Any place on the web with a detailed look at removing the power steering
    pump?

    I may be getting cold feet on this....that steering pump looks like it's
    anchored in 5 or 6 places.

    Looking like a bi-atch.

    I am told it is possible to remove the pump without messing with the
    coolant hose. Accomplished by undoing the 5 short bolts, 3 of which
    are on the pully side and 2 on the side where the coolant hose
    is. The 2 holes in the pully are for access to the 3 bolts. The 2 other
    bolts may be possible with a wrench, small fingers, and taking your time.
    Also the long bolt and tubing spacer.

    I have not seen any photos on the net but would very much like to. Picture
    is worth a thousand words and many threads on newsgroups (modern day
    corraliary to ancient proverb).

    I don't know if it applies to s70's, I have heard that some models have
    a plate that allows for easier removal / displacement of the
    pump/alternator. If anyone can confirm this and point out the details I
    would find it helpful. Also what models/years it applies to.

    Thanks.

    The tip on holes in the pulley wheel are something I missed.

    Already disconnected the coolant hose.

    I think you may have put me on the right course with this....hopefully I can
    just set it to the side completely connected to get to the alternator.

    The bolt that goes through the alternator and part of the pump bracket is
    giving me a fit......really tight.

    Mine's a 98 S70 T5.

    Tight bolt - longer lever arm, and be sure you are going in the correct
    direction. (don't ask me how I know this) Just a thought, I can not think
    of a reason this would be done, this "could" be a left hand thread????

    If you can use a penetrating spray and get it only on the bolt threads
    that may help, let it soak in for 15 to 30 min. I don't know what access is
    like.

    Do you have a replacement alternator in hand at this point or are
    you going to go to a local auto electric shop to rebuild yours?

    I thought it might have reverse threads...I'm not going to mess with it for
    a few days.

    I have other transportation so I'm going to take my time.....after (or, if)
    I get it off, I need to see if it was rebuilt only 7000 miles ago as HASH
    IMPORTS
    "claimed".

    Damn....I'm glad I could throw their name on the web.

    Once again, that's....HASH IMPORTS.

    I just searched for HASH IMPORTS on the net and found more to do
    with the HASH that one IMPORTS for recreational purposes than a place to
    get auto parts.

    What kind of place is this? Parts only? What part of the country are they
    in? They got a web site?

    Last I heard, most HASH comes from Nepal, although other countries
    have probably gotten into the trade also.

    Haven't seen HASH since the 70's though.....

    Not that this helps you one bit...
