From memory the bolts pretty much line up with the outer rib on the pulley, so drilling isn't going to help. Could be wrong, but thats how I remember it. Haven't had the 5.0 for months
 Wouldn't it be bad to unbalance the pulley anyway?... |

I'm sure he's not talking bout the 3 bolts that mount it to the head rather the three male torx bit bolts that hold the pump to the ancillary backet.

I got the pulley remover from Repco for $20 a few months back on clearance. Made it very easy.
I made my own pulley installer using some large washers, a high tensile bolt into the pump, and a pair of nuts so that I could just tighten the pulley down. Nigel |
