i don't know what year your truck is, but the early type vac pump and power steering pump are held on by 2 bolts, IIRC. It was a lot easier to remove the bolts and let it drop down, out of the way. Also, a quarter inch drive socket with a wobble extension gets to it...Mark

Good luck finding some.

Just recently purchased some for my Son's birthday. The only S-shaped wrenches I could readily find were from Sears.

Plan "B" is to buy some crescent wrenches (C-shaped). They work just as well.

I got a set of wrenches from harbor freight for around $10 10mm-19mm s-wrenches. Work great whenever I screw with my pump' timing.

Moon shaped are not bent enough.

Harbor Freight has them. Also O'Reillys has a ratcheting set but at $200, I will pass.
