is there an easy way to get the power stearing pump off... having troubles taking the bracket off, cant get to the bolts.

 

Sure, do it with the engine out.

 

You can remove the pump without removing the bracket.
Besides, the bracket holds the A/C compressor on as well.

Pull the pulley off of the pump. (Leave the belt on, remove the nut with an impact socket... Or grab the pulley with a strap wrench.)
There's three bolts under the pulley. They hold the pump in.
