You're going to have to get your hands on a pulley installer/remover before you tackle that.

Is it possible to remove the pump with the pulley? Or would I have to remove the pulley before the pump? Also ,I would really appreciate any tips on how you would do this.

It's a moot point unless you get a puller. The pulley has to come off before the pump is unbolted and it's pressed on..

Re: 1992 Grand Marque LS - changing power steering pump Sign In

This is what he means. Without a pulley puller/install kit this job cannot be done.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Disconnect the fluid return hose at the pump and drain the fluid into a container.
  3. Remove the pressure hose from the pump and, if necessary, drain the fluid into a container. Do not remove the fitting from the pump.
  4. Disconnect the belt from the pulley. On 5.0L and 5.8L engines, use a suitable pulley removal tool, to remove the pulley.
  5. Remove the mounting bolts and remove the pump.


See Figures 1 and 2


Fig. Fig. 1: Power steering pump-5.0L and 5.8L engines


Fig. Fig. 2: Power steering pump-4.6L engine
To install:
  1. On 5.0L and 5.8L engines, place the pump on the mounting bracket and install the bolts at the front of the pump. Tighten to 30-45 ft. lbs. (40-62 Nm).
  2. On 4.6L engine, place the pump on the mounting bosses of the engine block and install the bolts at the side of the pump. Tighten to 15-22 ft. lbs. (20-30 Nm).
  3. On 5.0L and 5.8L engines, install the pump pulley using a suitable pulley replacer tool.
  4. Place the belt on the pump pulley and adjust the tension, if necessary.
  5. Install the pressure hose to the pump fitting. Tighten the tube nut with a tube nut wrench rather than with an open-end wrench. Tighten to 20-25 ft. lbs. (27-34 Nm) on 1989-91 vehicles or 35-45 ft. lbs. (47-60 Nm) on 1992-98 vehicles.


Do not overtighten this fitting. Swivel and/or end play of the fitting is normal and does not indicate a loose fitting. Over-tightening the tube nut can collapse the tube nut wall, resulting in a leak and requiring replacement of the entire pressure hose assembly. Use of an open-end wrench to tighten the nut can deform the tube nut hex which may result in improper torque and may make further servicing of the system difficult.
  1. Connect the return hose to the pump and tighten the clamp.
  2. Fill the reservoir with the proper type and quantity of fluid.
  3. Bleed the air from the power steering system, as outlined in this section.


BLEEDING

  1. Disconnect the ignition coil.
  2. Raise and safely support the vehicle so the front wheels are off the floor.
  3. Fill the power steering fluid reservoir.
  4. Crank the engine with the starter and add fluid until the level remains constant.
  5. While cranking the engine, rotate the steering wheel from lock-to-lock.


The front wheels must be off the floor during lock-to-lock rotation of the steering wheel.
  1. Check the fluid level and add fluid, if necessary.
  2. Connect the ignition coil wire. Start the engine and allow it to run for several minutes.
  3. Rotate the steering wheel from lock-to-lock.
  4. Shut off the engine and check the fluid level. Add fluid, if necessary.
  5. If air is still present in the system, purge the system of air using power steering pump air evacuator tool 021-00014 or equivalent, as follows:
    1. Make sure the power steering pump reservoir is full to the COLD FULL mark on the dipstick or to just above the minimum indication on the reservoir.
    2. Tightly insert the rubber stopper of the air evacuator assembly into the pump reservoir fill neck.
    3. Apply 15 in. Hg maximum vacuum on the pump reservoir for a minimum of 3 minutes with the engine idling. As air purges from the system, vacuum will fall off. Maintain adequate vacuum with the vacuum source.
    4. Release the vacuum and remove the vacuum source. Fill the reservoir to the COLD FULL mark or to just above the minimum indication on the reservoir.
    5. With the engine idling, apply 15 in. Hg vacuum to the pump reservoir. Slowly cycle the steering wheel from lock-to-lock every 30 seconds for approximately 5 minutes. Do not hold the steering wheel on the stops while cycling. Maintain adequate vacuum with the vacuum source as the air purges.
    6. Release the vacuum and remove the vacuum source. Add fluid, if necessary.
    7. Start the engine and cycle the steering wheel.
    8. Check for oil leaks at all connections.

  6. In severe cases of aeration, it may be necessary to repeat Steps 9b-9f.


See Figure 3

Actually, on this one you can get it off the car without removing the pulley because the bolt come in from the side on the 4.6 but you still can't transfer it without the pulley.

Very true. The new pumps that you get from the parts store don't come with new pulleys. You have to use the one on your car. Even if you had a new pulley, you'd wreck the new pump trying to put it on without the right installer tool.

Re: 1992 Grand Marque LS - changing power steering pump Sign In

Thank you for your help. I am asking can I take out the pump with the pulley attached.
How the pulley is attached to the pump shaft, is there a bolt holding it. Sorry if I was redundant.

Re: 1992 Grand Marque LS - changing power steering pump Sign In

Every post made here has referred to a "pressed on" pulley that can't be removed without a puller. You can get this one out of the car but you still have to get the pulley off.

If this is a 4.6L, while your in there you might as well replace the oil filter adapter gasket that always leaks.
