Power steering pump kaput - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My power steering pump went out and went and got a replacement but can not get the blasted pully off the old pump. I know it is a press on and have my puller on it right now but it won't budge even tried heating it but no luck. Anybody got any ideas? or a double pully laying around? Thanks in advance.

It requires a special puller to get it off. I bought this one from Harbor Freight.

Take the pump to Advance Auto Parts or where ever buy it at and they will take it off for you and put it back on the new one.

A word of advice, if you try to use a puller with the hooks you are only going to mess up the pulley. Been there, done that.
