2001 t&c powertsteering pump removal help 3.3l
I have been trying to take off the powersteering pump and the p/s pully. I am having a hard time removing the pump out and the pully. I am taking the bolt out of the pump and the pressure line, but I don't know what braket that there talking about, I would like every possible pointers to get this done thanks. I would like some pics and some advice on what tools to use if there's any thanks.

T&C Power steering pump
I changed the pump on my 01 T&C with 3.8L engine this weekend. DO not bother trying to get to it through the wheel well. No Access there, although it is easier to take the serpentine belt off with the fender liner removed. It is easy to take off the windshield wiper and front cowl assembly. This makes it relatively easy to get to the pump. Loosen the pressure line from the firewall side of the pump first. Then there are 4 bolts holding the pump onto the bracket. One comes from the back of the pump; the other three must be accessed through the holes in the pulley. You can take the AC hose out of its plastic clip to give yourself a little more room. Note that the one which comes from the back of the pump is a bit shorter than the other three when you put them back in.
Special tools can be rented/borrowed from Pep Boys, Advance Auto, or Autozone to pull the pulley of and back on the shaft. DO NOT press the pulley onto the shaft, it is a very hard press and will surely damage the bearings in the new pump. With the special tool, it is easy.
Hope this helps!
