!955 50 power steering

If you just want the gear off remove the bolt holding it and then get another bolt much longer and screw into the hole. This will be a sacrificial bolt so plan to junk it afterwards. Put some wedges or chisels in under the gear to hold it up against the endplay then beat the heck out of that bolt I just had you put in there and it should pop right off.

You'll either have to lift the pedestal upper housing off, or other split the unit in order to remove the vane bracket bolts, etc. Here's a pic:

Yes. 5 bolts go through to hold the pedestal to the frame, while 5 hold the rotary cylinder together. Remove the remaining 5 bolts, and the upper pedestal section can slide off the top.

>>>I've got the pedestal laying across a couple of saw horses. It also looks like the spindle is two piece, this is what allows to make that split?>>>

No, that's a drafter's phantom line used to show the top end of an object and the remaining lower portion, with a repetitive area of insignificance in between. Like if you would illustrate a ruler, show the end at 1 and 2", then a double squiggly line, the 11 and 12", you're to think of this as a continuous object.

So, the parting line is the top surface of the cylinder. The top pedestal body goes up, then the cylinder can slide off, then remove the vane bracket, then the lower quill can come off. Stacked like a layer cake.
