Help! Can't Get PAS Pump Off!

[hellmett]

Hi All,

Today I managed to get a replacement pump from a breakers and I went to change it as it seemed an easy thing to do.

What a bugger, I cannot get the nut that holds the pulley on, off to get at the main bolt that holds the pump on!! (what a stupid place to put it!).

Nor can I undo the nut that holds the metal pipe that feeds fluid into the pump!

It is stuck fast and I am afraid of ringing it!

I think that they are seized!

How the hell do you stop the pulley from going round when you try to undo the nut????

After loosing my knuckles I cannot fathom how I am going to get the pump off!

Any advice on how to do this?

Thanks!

Let the nuts & bolts soak overnight with a WD40 Marinade.
