Looking for some power steering insight.
A PO installed power steering on my 67 Burban and I have no information on what parts they used to make it happen. The steering works fine but I'm looking ahead for when it will need some help. It's the bracket that hold the pump to the block that is annoying me. It is hard to see in the photo but the circled bolt goes through the bracket and the motor mount's forward hole and holds both in place. There is no way to remove the bolt without removing the center motor mount bolt and jacking the engine up. And of course to get the center mount bolt out I had to remove the header. There is very little room to get wrench on the bolt. And if you did get it loose the high pressure power steering hose is right there in the same space preventing the bolt from being able to come out enough. I don't know if the hose is routed wrong or the hose itself is wrong, or do I need a different mount for the pump? There are three bolts holding the bracket to the block. The red arrows point to the other two which are easy to access.
Thank you in advance for reading and any feedback.
