i guess i might be in the same boat with you.but i noticed the big hose connecting to the power steering appears to be leaking so before i change the pump i will change that hose i think its the source behind my lack of power steering issues. it beats changing the whole pump besides you would replace that pressure hose anyway, if replacing the pump.( new shoes , new shoestrings to match). if you fill your power steering reservoir and your steering is back for a while , then it goes away and your fluid is now gone , i'd blame a leaky seal or hose before i'd blame the pump

My power steering pump seems to be frozen in place. I loosened but didn't remove every bolt that seems to be holding it in place but still couldn't visibly move it when changing the three belts. I had to pry off the old power steering belt to change the alternator/waterpump belt, and then reinstalled the old power steering belt since it was already stretched to the right length by prying it back on. I know this is not good for the belt but since it wouldn't move, even using a pry bar, this is the only thing I could think of. It seems to have worked as my power steering still works good.If anyone knows of any trick to moving the pump for belt adjustment I would like to know it.

If I recall is the same as the others , only reversed.As in your turn the opposite direction to tighten the belt.Threw me off the first time.
