Default how do you remove a broken power steering pulley?

The OE plastic pulley cracked in shipping, I've swapped heads on this motor and all of the pulley has fallen off except the hub and I'm replacing the pulley with a metal one.

How do you get the thing apart? There's an allen screw in the center and I've put a fair bit of force on that and can't get it to budge

Use the tool that Randy mentioned. You can rent it for free from Autozone (well they make you pay for it, but you can return it after use).

All I have left on the pump is the metal, splined spindle though, and I need to get that off to get my metal pulley on. So that's just a friction fit? The hex bolt in the center does nothing?
