  • Steering: P/S Pump Pulley Removal Tips

    I want to rebuild the power steering pump on my '64 Avanti. I have it off of the car and now I cannot get the pulley to budge. I have resisted putting a puller on the pulley due to my fear of bending the pulley. Do I need to drill and tap some bolt holes in the pulley? Any suggestions would be helpful.

    They are just held on by the end bolt, and a key way with a woodruf key. Perhaps it is rusted. Try a little heat. You're going to replace the seals anyways.

      I agree with Brad, it is not a real tight press fit, and maybe a bit rusty, and may need some "persuasion."

      If you look at the Pulley, you will see there is a built-in ring to put a puller on it..



      Check out this YouTube video on using the correct puller..

        Be Careful! Those flimsy tin pulleys bend if you look at them the wrong way. WD-40 a little heat, and patience. If you press it, don't use a lot of pressure and I'm sure you would want a bearing splitter. Good Luck
