Hi.
My power steering pump is leaking and sounding kinda noisy so I'm planning
on replacing it. According to Hayne's I'm supposed to jack up the front end
and remove both front wheels. Is this correct? I don't see why I need to
remove the wheels.
Also, Hayne's says I have to remove the pulley and to do so I need a special
Ford tool. Is this correct? Do rebuilt pumps come without the pulley? If
so, is there a makeshift tool I can use instead? The last time I tried to
buy a special tool from Ford they told me they don't sell tools any more!
Thanks.

on the sohc v6 models secure the pulley with a prybar and remove the bolts
on the 4..0 liter you will need a special puller
If the pulley has 3 holes in it you can just adjust the pulley untul you
can get your socket in and remove the bolts.
Removing the tires I have never heard of. BUT i am no expert.
