Power steering pump on a T5.1 with air con.
I have looked at other posts but can't see the answer to this question.
I have got the pipes detached and the pump unbolted, but can't get the pump out of the engine bay. I have unbolted the air con compressor leaving the pipes attached but this hasn't help.
Does someone know how to get the pump out?
Was also going to replace the belt tensioner but cant see the bolt that holds it in place.
 
I haven’t done this job but there is some access from the right hand front wheel arch with the liner removed.
Putting the van into the maintenance position by pulling the from bumper / grill forward is the most obvious solution.
 
I'm halway through the job. You don't need the front bumper off but it helps to have the arch lining out. I've dropped the front sub frame slightly (on the off-side) and moved the Air con compressor out of the way, if not there is no-way of getting the pump out. Just need to lever the sub frame down and get the new pump plumbed in.
