Removing Power Steering Pump
Hey guys, I am attempting to remove my power steering pump from my 99 Trans Am. I bought/rented this pulley puller kit from autozone...http://www.autozone.com/R,4668366/st...ductDetail.htm. And I cannot seem to get it to work, has any body else tried one of these to remove the power steering pulley? If so, any tips on how to use it?
I have been outside trying to use this thing all day and I cannot figure out how to use it, it seems the claw is either to small and I cant get the cover over it or it is too big and it slips. So any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

The kit should have a little cover ring that slides over the clam shells 2 pieces that slide over the nub on the power steering pulley.
The cover helps it from slipping off.
They are on there pretty tight.
Good Luck hope it helps.

Ya, I have been using the little cover thing but the claw thingy has two sides one side is thin the other thick. If I use the thinner side it slips, if I use the thicker side I can't get the cover over top the claw. I have tried tapping it with a hammer to see if I could get it a little closer, but no luck. So, I dont know what to do, I may just end up taking it to the shop although I'd rather not.
