When I replaced my engine last April, I installed that power-steering
bracket assembly four times. There is never a good time to install it. I
stared at that diagram in the maintenance manual for an hour trying to
figure out that jigsaw puzzle.

I think they made that one up as they went. Bent a piece, and it turned out
wrong. Okay, bend another piece to make it right. Nope? Let's do one more...

And the parts are interlocking. To remove the power steering pump bracket,
you have to remove the final drive hanger. To remove the final drive
hanger, you have to remove the power steering bracket.

And then there's the issue of how many washers it will take under that
center-headed stud to really align the belt properly. Answer: Different
than the number you just put in.
