Default Steering pump pullery walking off shaft???

I removed my power steering pump pulley with a puller when I did my cam swap and pressed it back on after the cam swap. Now every 3-4 weeks the belt starts chirping and I have to press the pulley back on. Does this seem odd to anyone else but me? I dont see why I couldnt reuse the old pulley. Has anyone else experianced this?

Its a plastic part. Maybe yours is cracked?

Recently, I had TurnOne rebuild my PS Pump and they added their pulley which is pinned to the shaft. Works great and the pump can be moved with the pulley on if I ever need to get it out of the way.

Plastic? I thought it was aluminum... I never knew that.
