You need a puller built for power steering pulleys - don't use a three jaw, it will screw things up. I borrowed one from autozone. The puller threads in to the shaft and separates the pulley from the shaft.

Ya My buddy has 3 pullers but I got to figure out this bolt thing. There's no way to use the puller on it like it is. I am about ready to bust the pulley off and spend 10 bucks on a new one. I never had this much problem on a power steering pump and pulley

Got a pic of the bolt? I swapped in a saginaw on mine and it's just a pressed on pulley, no bolt.

So I spent all day working on trying to remove my power steering pump and the pulley and nothing will work. I have done everything I could think of and I have the right puller and nothing. Any ideas? I am about ready to cut the pulley off and all that.

Ok I finally got it. Ended up braking the pulley and stuff.

That sucks. I wonder if someone cross threaded a bolt pulling the pully on. It should have come apart under normal circumstances.

As p2d already posted, there is no bolt holding the pulley on. Click that thumbnail I posted.

You suppose it just had a bolt threaded in the end of the shaft to protect
the shaft's threads?

On the puller I bought the internal threads in the shaft are only for pushing
the pulley back on.
