So I am working on replacing my timing belt (the dang thing broke on me) and i am having trouble getting the power steering pump lose so that i can get the belt off. I just can't seem to get to the top bolt and was wondering if anyone can give me some helpful pointers.

I just cut the belts and bought new ones , you can get them back on just by using a thin screwdriver and rotating the engine . They will just flop into the guides.

That's also how you break belts...

If you're doing the timing belt, you've already got the front mount off. Take a jack and lower the engine a bit so that you can get access to it through the passenger side wheel well. You can get it, you've just got to move the engine around a little bit.
