After my dinner break I focused on the leaky power steering pump. I couldn't tell if my leak was from the pump, hoses, or steering box.

I inspected the pump and decided it was cheap insurance to replace it and eliminate one possible source. I bought a fresh unit and started the tear down process.

With a puller/press tool rented from Auto Zone the greasy pulley and brackets was stripped from the old pump. It took lots of scrubbing and blasting but the parts were eventually cleaned up. I verified that the old parts would fit the new pump then painted them all with cast iron.
