Question Power Steering Pulley Problem

So I'm in the process of replacing my power steering pump. WHen I go to use the pulley removal tool, the pulley simply slides off. Wierd. I then notice that the shaft snapped; causing my no power steering problem, shown in the following pictures.
Now here's where I'm stuck, I dont exactly know how to remove the bolt from the pulley now. The guy at autozone told me to use this tool that I rented out, but it doesnt seem to work. Anyone have any experience on this that can help me out please?

Have you tried putting the broken shaft in a vice, then using the tool to get the bolt out?

Alright so I found the fix. The tool i was using was actually the wrong one. The kit I rented out came with 3 differnt types ? but I found out that you're supposed to clamp one of them to the pulley and screw down the shaft out. Worked . I have the new pump on and got my power steering back. Thanks guys!
