Hi Guys,
I need some assistance with a part number for my power steering bracket. Also, ideas on how to remove the two bolts behind the pulley as the bracket is clearly broken into 2 pieces. Thanks in advance!

The pulley will need to be removed to access the two bolts behind. Look for a part number on the bracket - maybe on the back side. I could not spot the bracket in EPC.
just placed an order for a chain wrench, just learned online to use a section of old serpentine belt between the chain and pulley to prevent damage... any idea what type of bolt is in the middle holding onto the pulley?
it seems the rear bracket on my pump and bolts are missing which is the cause of this failure. any tips on installation of those? I read on an older topic the bolt under the external oil hard lines is nearly impossible to get to.
Tyically, PS (and alternators) pulleys do not have a bolt holding the pulley on. It is held by friction. There is a specific puller kit for removing and reinstalling the pulley. It uses the grove behind the center snout of the pulley to hook on to while pulling it off. Here's a video on using one. Most chain auto parts loan out the kit for no cost. Tip: before remoing the pulley measure exactly how far it is on the shaft so when you re-install you will know how far it is to be set and in exact alignmnet with the other pulleys.
I looked again at EPC and can't find any brackets for the pump so maybe the brackets come with the pump and thus do not have separate part numbers. That would suggest getting a salvage yard pump just to get the brackets.

Thanks again machild! I went ahead and ordered a puller/installer! Also, thanks to the community, a fellow member on the C63 forum has some power steering brackets to sale to me.
