My memory is old, but there is a bolt from the aft side of the pump, also. PO did the delete kit on it, but I ordered it and the spacer and made it right.

The spacer was in tight. It took about 30 or 40 hard whacks with a hammer on a cold chisel to get the spacer to finally let loose. Might have to get a new spacer to put it back together. Why is everything so tight on this beast. You would think with some leaky oil and other fluids that it would keep all bolts nice and lubricated instead of siezed up.

Wish you all the best in putting it back together, that is where it can really get interesting!
I went down this exact same road and still had leaks. Looking back, my rack had gotten dirt inside of the unit which had created so much wear that I don't think it would have been possible to reseal it w/o machining the some of the surfaces.
I ripped everything out and converted my PS rack to a manual one. One of the best decisions I have made on this car. One less fluid to **** all over the place!

DYI, do yourself in...with a 944 that could be correct, but in this case it's bad typing skills ) Can't help with the pump. Mine's so long gone I forget. Went with a manual rack, also got tired of fluid leaks.
