How to get power steering pump out of 2005 Ford Taurus?

I can't seem to get the pump out. There is a blind stud that one end sticks out and the other end is into the wall of the head, how do I get this out so I can change the pump? I can get to the pulleys and other bolts, but it needs to come all the way out to change the pulley and the pump, there is not enough room between the fender and pump to slide it off the bolt. HELP???How to get power steering pump out of 2005 Ford Taurus?
loosen the engine mount on that side and jack the motor up untill the pump can be pulled of

its not at all uncommonthat you need to completely remove the mount and then jack the engine on many carsHow to get power steering pump out of 2005 Ford Taurus?
in most cases it calls for you to remove the pully and slide out of the bracket, because the bracket might have hidden bolts under the pump. they sell or rent the pully pullers at your local auto storeHow to get power steering pump out of 2005 Ford Taurus?
Most people just drill a hole in the fender well and put a rubber plug into it when they're done. It's a whole lot easier than dismounting the engine.
