The pump is already off the engine, I'm looking to find out how to remove the pulley off of the pump. I don't see where you can grab it with a claw-type pulley remover. The only other way I see it is to disassemble the pump. I see that there is an acess plate on the back. Thanks.
I don't think it can be removed with out doing damage to the pump if lucky.
This is the info I was giving from EVANS when asking about a upgraded pump. Wanted to send them a polished unit, they told me there is a high chance that there could be damage to the pump when, removing the pulley.
Why do you want-need to remove the pulley.

No problem. I was hoping to take it up to a bead blaster and have it powder-coated as it is looking kinda rough. I guess I have no other course of action than to just try and sand it down and repaint it.

If you try to Powder Coat the Pully and the pump is still attached to it.. The seals in the Water Pump might not be able to take the Powder Coating process.. that is.. 375 to 400 deg for 20-30 min.. I looked into it.. and it is not recommended. Your only option is to remove it from the pump 1st.. if it can be done.
I used a earlier style stock LS1 water pump that has the bolt on pulley. I then took the pulley and thermostat off and had those chromed. I had the pump painted with high temp paint as I was hesititent to powdercoat it due to messing up the internal bearings. All in all it came out looking good and looks good on the car.....
