I followed the Pump Repair "How To" but got stuck on step #3 The Idler Bolt retracted when turned clockwise BUT the idler pully did not move back to relax the tension on the belt. I retracted the bolt 3/4 inches but could not shake the pully to get it to retract ? I retightened it again to see if I moved it forward a bit and then retracted again but still no movement of the idler pully on its slot ? I dont see any way to get any push on the bottom of the idler pully to get it to retract on its slot. Did I miss something ? Also your picture shows the PS Pump pully off before you removed the three bolts holding it onto the block ? but no mention of removing it. Does the pully require a "wheel puller" to remove /or will it come off ,assuming I can get the end nut off . I noticed the engine turns over when I put leverage on the pully end nut . Looks more difficult than I thought ?
