When you install the PS pump pulley the bracket and pump must be mounted to the engine. Then you can clean and lube the PS pulley shaft and the pulley hole. Then use OEM Tools 27031 pulley installer to install the pulley. You can't install the pulley with the setup off the truck as it fights you.

Dont use the harbor freight pulley remover/ NOT installer. If you ever tried it; it sucks at pulley installations.

Well crap. Now the power steering pulley cracked and came off on me. Of course the belt went with it. Stranded on the roadside. Got someone coming to pick me up to go to autozone for a puller, pulley and new belt.

Any ideas why this would crack and come apart? Thought I finally had the issue solved.

That doesn't look like the OEM PS pulley. You probably should just swap to a saginaw pump. Cardone makes bad pumps; dont use them. That or try a OEM c2 pump pulley. Junkyard or maybe someone will send you their OEM c2 pump pulley that did the saginaw swap.

That dorman pulley seems like the application is a large amount of vehicles that never had the same pulley from the factory. Dorman Products - 300-003
