Power steering pully

How to get Power steering pully off?

How do the get it off without destroying it:bang :bang . When you turn the nut, everthing spins. Just thought of it:s Maybe in a vise with wood protecting the pully? Is that it?

Run down to your favorite auto parts store and see if they can rent a pulley puller. It bolts on the front of the pulley and presses the shaft out.

If it's still in the car, leave the belt tensioned to hold the pulley and loosen the nut - then remove the belt and the pulley will come right off. If the pump is out of the car, use an old fan belt looped around the pulley (like a strap wrench) to hold the pulley still while you loosen the nut. In either case, the pulley will come right off after the nut is removed; if the pulley has a nut retaining it, it isn't pressed on the pump shaft.

Thanks John,

Pump is out of car and I will try the old fan belt technique.

Could only get it off by putting the pully in vise protected with wood. But it was past 8pm last night (watching Big Daddy Gartlis :BOW on Wind Tunnel) in the garage when I realized the Rebuilt pump from Corvette Central needed a Woodruf Key
Yea I guess my fault but WhyTF don't they put the F***** piece on the pump :bash . I mean it only cost me .31 cents with tax and it wouldn't get me ****ed off at CC. This means I won't finish what I have to do until Friday night instead of tonight so the alignment gets pushed to next week. Heading to The Glen for the SVRA event in 21 days
