Change Power Steering Pump
Let me guess... you can't get the bolts out because the pulley is in the way? And you can't get the pulley off because there's no room for a puller? I just changed Power Steering pump in my '89. I'm betting your '97 is the same/similar. You have to remove the entire upside-down "U" bracket that goes over your crank-shaft (fan shaft). Remove the alternator, A/C compressor, & air pump (I think) You may run into same problem w/air pump, but I can't remember, and mine's gone... strictly an off-road vehicle). Then unbolt the entire bracket & use a puller. In my case, I went to a junk yard & grabbed the bracket w/power steering pump still on & bolted onto my truck... much easier! I've heard there's a special puller out there for tight conditions that will allow you to take the pulley off while the pump is still in your vehicle... but I have yet to actually see one of these.
