Default Show me the Power Steering Puller

Can someone show me a picture of one so I can remove it from my head. I need to remove the bolt. I went to autozone and they are giving me a big puller that wont fit to the inverted bolt on the pulley. Or better yet, the tool part number so I can just ask for that.

Thanks, almost done with my swap.

You can sneak a wrench back there. Just take the other two bolts off and pull the PS pump out as you loosen the bolt. I've done it every time. Never took the pulley off.

Pulley puller looks like this: -The cupped one. Unscrew it, slip it over the "ridge", then tighten the bolt.

Bayer I did it that way too but IIRC had to use a skinny cheapass wrench I prolly picked up at a yard sale. My Craftsman and Stanley wrenches were too fat.. can't remember the size...

Might be doin it again soon if you have read my PS problem thread....

^ 15mm..... It's a common size. It was tight, but I got it in there.

One of the power steering bolts on mine tends to round off with an open end, and I can only get a closed end wrench on it if I remove the water pump first. Since I remove the water pump on a head swap anyway that is what I do now.
