Do I have to drop the subframe in order to get back bolt out of power steering pump? Is there a better way or a trick? Can’t get hex socket on the third bolt!
thanks

No. There is alot of DYI's on this if you search.

I even posted a thorough write up.

I have my doubts as I was unable to do my 545 without dropping the subframe an inch or two when I did the gasket replace this spring.
Every vid I watched before, things looked different than what I was dealing with and dropping the subframe a bit is not that much of a big deal.
just. My two cents..
