How do you put the pulley back on the PS pump? I had to get a PS pump from a local junk yard for my 6.0 truck motor. The guy who pulled the pump had a pulley puller to get the pump out. Now I want to install it, but I'm unsure of the correct way to put the pulley back on.

No DO NOT use a hammer on the pulley. You have to have a pulley installer tool. If you use a hammer the pulley will eventually disintegrate and cause a belt to take out a bunch of stuff on its way out 
. I know this from personal experience a few weeks ago.
The tool just screws into the pulley shaft and then steadily forces the pulley onto the shaft. I'm sure you could make this tool but you can prob rent it from your local auto parts store
