doing the cam swap in my truck today. i got most of it tore down but the braket that holds the alt. and ps pump i cant get it off. theres two bolts behind the ps pulley do i have to take the pulley off to get those out? last time i didnt have to do that i just cant remember how i done it. thanks in advance

 

I'm trying to remember if i had to take off the alternator bracket or not.. i must have, the bolts wont budge? is thats whats going on?

 

i done took the alt off. the ps pump has two bolts behind the pulley you cant get off unless you take the pulley off

 

Are you having to do this to get the cover off? I Have a different bracket since mine holds my blower as well, but mine is bigger and all I had to do was loosen the bolts so that I could slide the cover off to get to the oil pump and cam

 

i havent tried to take the water pump off with that bracket on there. i just figured you had to take the bracket off in order to get to the bolts for the water pump. hopefully im wrong.

 

If you get under the truck and look at the back sid eof the bracket there are 2 nuts that you have to take off. Or you can look where the 2 nuts are. They are on a smaller bracket. There is 1 bolt that holds it to the side of the engine block.

 

alright i got the waterpump off. now i need to get the bolt out of the crank. i just tried doing it with an impact and it didnt budge. anybody got any ideas?

 

nevermind i got the bolt out now all i got to do is get the pulley off if i can find a puller

 

our motors must be different. i never had to take off alt and ps bracket's to take the water pump off.

 

ya man why are you having to take any of that off. i dont even think ls1s have to pull all of that off. when i do my swaps i dont even take the oil pump off.
