Default power steering pulley removal
How do you remove the power steering pulley, I think you need to use some sort of puller but what type of center bolt is holding it on?

Go to autozone and get the rental tool. You need to pull it off. The center bolt is not holding it in.

Yup. You need a tool at the parts store.

I found it easier to remove the entire P/S pump, and bring it into AutoZone. They removed it in under 5 mins while I waited. Great guys over there!

How did you remove the entire thing without taking the pulley off?

The 2 bolts in the back are really hard to get to without the pulley off.

I didnt have too much trouble getting those bolts off. If i remeber correctly, the pump pulls away from the head, as you loosen the bolt, making each turn easier and easier.
