timing belt question again
<center><img src="http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s57/2kblacks4/IMG_0589.jpg"></center><p>
i am still doing my timing belt. i have had work school and all kind of trips to the store for parts and tools.i am slowly but surely getting it done. if the write up is correct all i have left to is remove the water pump and thermostat and replace and put it all back together.
my question is that i am trying to loosen the mounting bracket for the power steering pump i have removed the the 2 6mm front ones but i cant seem to get the top one off. i know that i should just play with it but i am getting frustrated and when i do i usually get ruff with it and do not need to strip this bolt!!! i have been playing with it for 45 min now and and getting tired of it. any suggestion would help i know i should just keep playing with it but does any body have any pointers? i have used 3 and 4 extension bars (short ones) and a flexy tool near the bottom.
please help - chase
Loosen mounting bracket for power steering pump. There are 3x 6mm allen bolts - 2x on front and 1x vertically on top as shown.

why are you even touching that?
I recall that one of the bolts for the water pump has something in front of it, but I thought it was just the PS pulley? I thought that all you needed to do was remove the pulley, not the whole PS pump itself.
Or is my memory failing me?

PS, when I did need to get to that bolt, I used 1/4" extension, wobble, and bit to get a solid...
connection into the bolt. I seem to recall the 3/8" wobble didn't allow it to sit properly. But that could have just been my tools. Just be sure you have a solid connection to the bolt before adding force
