can't pull water pump because of P/S A/C bracket

aaallrighty · Aug 13, 2009

Does anyone know where all of the screws are on the Power steering + A/C bracket so I can remove it to change the water pump? I already removed 2 on the driver side (1 that also holds fuel lines and another that is about the level of the oil pan). Does the torx screw that is in the center of the belt tensioner hold the bracket back also?

Ok I just did this when I replaced the heads on my truck. You have to remobe ideler pully and belt tensioner. After that there are three (3) 13mm bolts that hold the bracket to the head.

Best regards,

Some of the bolts on the front of the engine go into coolant passages, so make sure you put thread sealant back on the ones with the reddish color on the threads.

i dont recall having to remove the tensioner to do the water pump...but it HAS been a while.

your best bet is to take a dremmel tool to that stupid ass bracket. its aluminum and takes very little time to clearence it for the water pump (something that should have been done from the factory...nice going ford :annoyed:

)
