Hello, Lift the engine a bit to support it. Remove the top mount-10,16 and 18mm sockets are needed. The 18mm nut in the center is tight, use an impact socket and breaker bar. I broke my regular 18mm socket on it. Relieve the tensioner pulley with the 1/2" breaker bar and unhoop the belt. Remove the vacuum assembly. Remove the P/S bracket bolts but don't disconnect any P/S hoses. I don't remember if the metal turbo inlet pipe has to be removed just to replace the hose. If it's in your way you loosen a torx bolt on the band-style retainer;HINT: For re-attaching that band I had to use a piece of tape to hold it in place at the 6 o'clock position to enable the band to take hold. The band wouldn't bite otherwise. Since I was removing my water pump I had to disconnect "everything" anyway. I bought a cable operated hose-clamp removal tool and couldn't recommend one more highly. I used regular Ideal clamps (worm clamps) for reassembly. Depending on mileage, consider water pump replacement at this time. Kira
