Replacing water pump

[salinao]

Need help removing the water pump on my '98 Intrigue. I am down to the last bolt, but the power steering pully seems to be in the way. Anyone know how I go about removing this pully? I can't see it well enough to know what kind of tool I am going to need.

If you have a 3.8 you need to loosen and move the power steering pump out of the way to get to the last bolt. Once you do that the access to the remaining bolt should be easy.

Is there a gasket that I am going to have to replace once I loosen the power steering pump?

Thanks GTP DAD. I answered my own question by just jumping right in and taking the power steering pump off.

Word of advise to anyone else who might need to try this. Get another set of hands. Getting that power steering pump is a PAIN. I messed up by removing both the top and bottom bolts. Probably would have been good enough to remove the top and just loosen the bottom.

Anyway. All fixed now!
