Power steering pulley removal?
i have no idea how to remove this thing without the SST. is it even possible? i have a pinched o-ring on my A/C return line and can't get to it with the PS pump there.

It's been a while, but isn't it just bolted on? I don't remember having to use a puller on it...Take the bolts out, & give it a little whack with a small hammer to loosen it up...

there's a main bolt that rotates with the pulley. there are two holes on the pully that are suppose to to have an SST so you can hold it still while you remove the main bolt.

So shove a screwdriver into one of the holes, and get it to jam up against something safe & solid, then get the bolt off...

So put the other outside small bolts back in, put a belt on the PS, tighten the belt, then take the middle mail bolt off first

The single center bolt holds both the pulley & its mounting flange to the end of the keyed shaft.

I placed a screwdriver through one of the holes and jammed it agaist one of the 3 rear bolts. The center nut came out no problem. No pully is needed.

hook the belt back up... tighten it up really hard, then put you ratchet on the nut, and tap it briskly with a plastic hammer... or settel if you don't care about marking your ratchet..
