in todays repair video I am showing how to remove and install a power steering pulley. this will come in handy for the DIY crowd as some power steering set ups are attached to a bracket so in some cases removing the pulley is needed. This repair is easier than you think with using the special power steering pulley remover tool. Hopefully things won't be too seized and the pulley will come off easy. the power steering in this video is from a 3rd Gen Ls engine

Hi Folks, I have a power steering pump that does NOT have a threaded center. The method he is using made me crazy for hours until I read on a corvette post that some pumps only have a keyway and a nut holding on the pulley. No threaded female parts!! So, there is no need to pull it or press it on. This video is excellent, btw, for all press-on types of steering pumps. I hope this helps someone and they don't get crazy as I did. MK

Best idea so far, using your hand to stop the pulley from turning. I'll try it and report back. So far I haven't been able to stop the shaft/pulley from turning which just unscrews the installer tool. EDIT, UPDATE 1/10/2020: Your method worked. I used a long handled ratchet, and braced it as shown to give one hand free. Was still a bit difficult to hold the pulley though so I added a rubber washer between the installer bearing and pulley and that did the trick. Got it up and running now, thanks OP.

Major props to you man. Every other idiot KZfaqr has you using the threaded bolt to remove the pulley. I wrestled with it for two weeks trying to get it off, breaking the bolt in it. I came across your video last night and was able to pull it off in one minute with hand tools. Thank you so much. Anyone reading this, this is how you do it!. Rock on man!!!!

You put the washer on the wrong side of the thrust bearing which is why you had to hold the pulley with your hand. The washer must go against the inner race of the thrust bearing. This is the side with a tiny gap around the outer edge - inside the outer "cup". Also, for this pump, use the shortest threaded shaft to install the pulley.

A thread chaser! I never thought of that! I feel so stupid! I'm working on mine right now, in fact. Like yours, the interior threads on mine are very rusty. I was able to only get 2 threads of the bolt into it. Amazingly, I was able to get the pulley about 1/2 way on, before those 2 threads gave way. I felt helpless. How do I get the bolt in, so I can finish this job?! A HAH!! A LOT of lubricant and a thread chaser will clean out those threads! YES!! That's what I'll try tomorrow. Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot, I have a Holden Commodore VZ Ute with a bad belt and tensioner, for some reason GM's engineers decided to place one of the belt tensioner bolts right on the lip of the power steering pump pulley, so to change the belt tensioner either the pulley or the PS pump have to come off, taking the pulley off will be easier.

I'm about to wade into replacing my pull. I removed itself an took the serpentine belt with it on my drive home the other day. It did not however, remove the center part of the pully. The pulley broke apart and away from that center sleeve with the lip. Doesn't look like it will matter since the tool applies force against/between the lip and the center pin. I'll find out shortly.
