dismantling the power steering .......
Does anybody know the right procedure for dismantling the power steering pump? I’m taking the engine out following STAR but when it comes to the steering pump; then it’s not correct 
so if anybody has any experience about this,…………………….. please let me know.

it should come right out. beforehand make sure you relieve pressure in the abc system otherwise a quart of your pentosin will be on the ceiling.
remove as many hoses as you can without removing the pump as once it is wiggling around some hoses are very hard to remove.

funny you should mention that- i am seeing (or not seeing) the same thing- if i am not working on a lift, but under jackstands, i cant see very well - my focal distance is increasing and right now it is greater than the distance i have when i am under a vehicle... and i cant move my head back...
argh....
