Just finished working on mine. You do not need to remove any of these bolts on the back side. You need to remove the top pivoting bolt completely, and the bottom bolt that locks in position. However, the bolt is long and is against the chassy. Remove the 3 bolts, 14 mm, on the rear engine mount. Then put a jack under the engine. Lift it up just enough to extract the bolt. Then the pump falls down. Of course, you should remove the 16-mm rubber hose that feeds the pump and the high pressure outlet, but these are trivial. The pump is sandwiched between 2 steel plates and held in place by 3 bolts and 2 nuts.

Good video. I have been fighting those bolts for hours. Thank you.

You did that the easy way! lol Making all them other guys look bad!! lol Have a good weekend!

They definitely could have made it easier

No need to remove those three bolts. From the front just remove the belt adjusting bolt and loosen the pivot bolt as far as you can (the bolt head will hit the pulley). The rear bracket will come out with the pump.

Long tool? Extension?

I’m trying to get my pump off but I’m having trouble the 3 bolts your talking about in the beginning the 14 mm I can’t get them off . I use a ratchet in the front and a wrench in the back but no luck I noticed in your video you don’t show how to remove them , any advice?

Canela History sorry just seeing this. You may have to use something to hold the pulley

take two strong pieces of metal. Drill holes on the 2 ends. Connect on end to the other to form a V-shape. Align the other ends with the holes of the pulley. Bolt them. No you have a lever to prevent the pulley to swing. Do not use impact wrench. Just a regular 17 mm box wrench, maybe extension.

What about the first line

That's awesome if you have a lift if you don't it's useless
