    I'm sure he could get it but honestly I'd just go to a local dealership and order it; they might even have one. I doubt it's very much. I think I ordered one from a dealership locally. I'm not sure you actually have to take it off. I took mine off but I'm pretty sure you can get the alternator out without disconnecting the line to the PS pump.

    It is not required to remove the PS line. I only had to remove mine when the new PS pulley got stuck and I needed to remove the pump completely to get the damn thing back off.

    Affirmative. I can't hurt to have it there if needed. Lord knows crap breaks when I'm working on it.

    Totally my pleasure! I've learned a ton from many on here and am delighted to be able to contribute something! I'm really glad you like the 8-rib system; I did too!

    Such great work on here! Looking to maybe leverage some this knowledge. Does anybody know if this is still applicable on a 2009.5. I know the accessory belt routing is different.
