Can the power steering pump be removed without taking the pulley off?

Yes, the Power Steering pump can typically be removed without taking the pulley off, depending on the vehicle's design. Many pumps are mounted in such a way that they can be detached from their brackets and hoses without needing to remove the pulley. However, access can be restricted, and in some cases, removing the pulley may facilitate easier access to the pump or provide a clearer line for disconnection. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific procedures.
