broke PS pulley!! 
Pulling all the accessories for my 408. I wasn't sure how to remove the power steering pump so I did a search and found one so when I put the puller on, yep just like I thought, it broke!!! So I've found a new pulley. Thing is there is still that piece on the pump. It seems like its on with a alen key.
Pls let me know....thanks!

Well you seem to be in luck as this just happened to me 
. The hub is made of metal and has teeth going around it that hold the plastic pulley to it. The Hub part is what slides onto the shaft coming out of the pump.
You have to go and get a pulley puller to get it off. You dont use an allen key to get it off, it has to be done with a puller.
Also so you dont make the same mistake I did 2 times
. You have to have a pulley installation tool to install it. You can't beat it on with a hammer 
. If you do, and it actually goes on without breaking. The next time you go WOT the pulley will come apart and take out some electrical connections with it 
. Dotn ask me how I know lol.

Thanks bjamick!
I don't see how I could've pulled off the plastic pulley without it breaking. It seems to have a inner ring that fits inside the hub. I understand now and I will remove the hub. With the installation I have a large vise. I should be able to install the hub back with the vise. Right?
