I’m replacing my water pump and steering pump.

I’d like to reuse the pulleys.

I purchased a pulley puller last night. Seems like it would work on the water pump but the pulley on steering pump seems different.

Any input on both pulleys would be appreciated

thanks

Water pump pulley should just wiggle off.After the belts and nuts are off. Power steering pump all but takes a special tool/ puller, it's worth the money if you use it twice.

Took my power steering pump to the machine shop that did my heads, bought new pump there as well. They swapped the pulley for $5.00

I'm working on being that shop. Was it a new pump or one they had rebuilt?

New pump, bring your own pulley. Seemed weird the new pump came without one.
The shop by the way was the last REAL napa store in my area. Adults work there, and has a machine shop in the back.

I remember them. Haven't seen one in forever. Not looking at being a parts store, but quality rebuild shop.
Guess this guy got his pulley off?

Who knows about the guy and his pulley. The napa store machine shop is old school for sure. Nothing fancy, but everything they need to bore, clean, sleave, turn, cook, clean, port and polish for sure. They even got the busted studs out of my OG exaust manifolds and installed new ones. Nothing but aces in my book. The machine shop guy has been there for years, one guy operation. When he leaves we will have lost another legend IMHO.
Between the folks here, the adults at the counter, and the machine shop guy, you all made my motor swap a huge success. Take away any one side of that triangle and it would not have happened.
