How to remove PS Pump?

[Generalee0527]

So anyone know the magic curse words to make the PS pump turn loose? I had been dreading the PS removal due to the pulley. Well, the puller I bought a few years ago just paid for itself. 2 minutes and pulley is off. For some reason I can't get the front lower bolt out but a 1/4" until it binds against the pressure line. With the other three removed I expected it to move away from block/timing cover to allow removal of bolt. No dice! Slight prying w/ screwdriver, light tap w/ 4# hammer nothing. No indication it wants to budge. I wouldn't want to knock the hell out of it and ruin a perfectly good pump. This is all that is preventing the cover removal. I can't wait to see what I have behind door #3. Do I dare whip out the map torch?

You can either remove the line and take the bolt out, orrrrr thug it out like me and just cut it out

You have to remove the pressure line. I never put that bolt back in afterwards
