Can someone please go and take a few pictures of their power steering pump, bracket, and the bolts holding everything on?
I have the bracket on the engine, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the PS pump on the bracket. I've tried to make it fit every way i can and it won't work.
PLEASE!

I thought this was going to be something mean, but I guess not!

I think I figured it out. I had the bracket that came with the engine on and not the bracket from my old engine.
The downside, however, is that I can't find the other bracket. It vanished along with a half dozen bolts, all of my 10mm sockets, and a few other things.
If my memory serves correct, the JDM bracket won't work.
The USDM bracket has a pivot bolt on top and a slot on bottom. Loosen the pivot bolt, loosen the bolt going through the slot, and loosen the tensioner bolt (between the front of the engine and radiator). That's how it comes off. Installation is reverse.

Yep, that's exactly the issues (as mentioned above). I seem to have lost my USDM bracket, so it's off to the junkyard forme today.
