Help! with accessory brackets
<hr style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> I am replacing the water pump in my 1986 Bronco.....
I took off the AC compressor & power steering brackets, but I cant figure out how they went back on (Its the stock V-Belt set-up)....
I have a Haynes but i still cant figure it out!!!!!!
Does ANYONE have somekind of picture of their accessory brackets, or any pic that I might be able to see how to put it back? I have looked all over cardomain and yahoo! images for something but havent found anything, I kind of thought there might be a diagram of how they go but I havent found one.
Any help is VERY appreciated!

Ok, im not that big a ******* - it turns out the parts girl at the parts store handed me a waterpump for a 96 Bronco, which is much different then a pump for an 86 Bronco... It bolts up, but the bracket mounting holes are way different and there's 1 less mounting bolt on the 96
So when i figured out it must be the wrong pump, got the right pump and the bracket situation all of a sudden made a whole lot more sense...
I dumped the AC system and didnt bother with the AC bracket... dumped the compressor, lines and condenser. Truck's running awesome now
Remember folks, if the parts guy at your local parts supply store hands you an aluminum waterpump for your truck, its probably not the right pump if your original pump is cast iron lol
