Power steering pump pulley removal

I’ve searched other threads and it appears the pulley should just come off. I’ve had no such luck. I’ve used liquid wrench, hit it with a hammer, put a bolt through the holes in the pulley and a nut on the other side (which just bent the pulley) and nothing has worked. I’m going with heat next.

Any other suggestions?

 

...never mind fire works

 

I had the same problem, wouldn’t come off. I just didn’t have a torch so just cleaned up as best I could. repainted and reinstalled.

 

Yep it comes off. Have someone hold the pulley, then throw a nut on the shaft and whack it. Usually drops out. It's stuck on the key.

 

If yer gonna do it more than once, the puller for 20.00 is a lifetime investment. ws

 

Autozone will lend the proper tool.

 

Been there and tried a puller but it won't work for this type of pulley.
