How to get P.S. pulley off?

How do you get the pulley off of the power steering pump? Does it take a special tool? It is not hex.

I have a puller, but what do I need to get the center bolt out? It looks like a hex, but I can't find any that fit.

Rent from Auto Zone or prev mentioned location.
"Rent" means that you put a deposit down, then you get your money back upon return of the tool kit. So, it's really free.
Bring the power steer pump with you to verify that one of the threaded studs in the kit will actually screw into your pulley.
I went to two different Auto Zones which had the kit/tool. One of them did not fit my pump.

to put the pulley back on you need to use the same tool.

I can't remember exactly how it was set up but I used my PS tool to remove and install the pulley

you use the same center bolt, except you add a giant "nut" between that and the pulley, then turn that nut till it completely presses the pulley back onto the pump.
