Hello All,
Finally getting around to replacing the PS pump and pressure line on my 76 Fleetwood (500ci). Already off to a stellar start, since the first bolt I removed from the bracket fell down somewhere other than on the ground and I cannot find it. My question is: Which way would be the easier way to approach this? Try to unbolt the pump from the bracket itself to remove, or remove the bracket with pump attached, and then transfer new pump to the bracket and then reattach the bracket with pump on it? The two upper bolts for the bracket are easily accessible, but the third bottom one is proving difficult to get to or even barely see. I'm working with limited tools and no lift, which makes things even more fun. Thanks in advance for any advice or tips.
