Maybe... I don't have it in front of me, but I believe the workshop manual (and I know the Bentley book) say to take the pulley off the pump, not off the camshaft.

Do NOT take off the lower pulley - given its connected to the camshaft, how are you expecting to hold the camshaft still to torque the pulley back on? The other reason is if you lock the engine crankshaft down (say leave it in gear), and that big bolt is a bit tight, you can actually put enough torque through the camshaft to loosen the camshaft chain sprocket nut - then you are in bigger trouble!
**forgot to mention - this can also cause a slip in your timing because you might move the camshaft relative to the cam sprocket - not good.
Replacing the pump is not that big of a deal, but it's all done at the pump level - you will be removing the pump pulley. Note how it's designed to be taken off without a lot of drama.

my power stearing pump started to knock, at begning it was only on full lock, and now its all the time i touch the stearing wheel.
i had a small inspection camera to look inside the engines. and i fount out that the belt had no teeth any more,.
now is the question any tips or someting how to change it with engine in?
