Alright, so I've been trying to figure this one out, and I just can't. Is there some way to get the bottom right nut on securely without modifying the PS mount? I've already lost 2 nuts off of that because I can't torque them enough.
 
6" extension works for guys that run into this problem. A drive, wobble, extension, and short socket all 1/4. Worked on a 1g 7 bolt.

Alright. I'm a complete noob when it comes to names of tools. what exactly do you mean by drive and wobble? I've got a 1/4 drive ratchet.
 
I just unbolt the power steering pump and bracket. It takes a whole 10 minutes to remove.

Don't gotta take off the belt or anything? I was scared to remove it because its the original pump and I don't want to break anything.

You will have to remove the belt to remove the pump. There are 3 bolts to take the pump off, and 3 that hold the bracket on. It literally takes 10 minutes to remove the pump and bracket. Just leave the lines hooked up to the pump and sit it to the side.
 
Use a swivel socket (the swivel's that have the socket built onto it). Greatest thing ever. . .

Or use a ratcheting wrench (another great invention)
