Ellis, I need help?........AGAIN!!! Remember the pulley I was telling you about?
Well here is a picture of it. The powersteering pulley looks like it is backing out and I can't figure out why. The belt is only 2/3 of the way on the pulley. The belt is alligned with the rest of the pulleys. The power steering pulley is the only one that has an issue. I'm worried about its affect on the integrity of the best as well.
Can you fit me into your busy schedule to take a look at it and maybe fix it for me? After my last adventure........you are the only one I'm willing to let work on my car other than myself.
PM me with any questions!!

The pump is making some horible noises now. I'm going to try the powersteering fluid lubericant you were talking about first, but if that don't work I need to replace that pump. 
I'm wondering if they make a pump with the pulley attached to it? That way all I'll have to do is remove that bracket and the pump, then swap it out. Should take considerably less time now that I know how to remove it.
Any idea's Ellis on a pump with pulley already attached?

I think the pump was old and frail, and when Ellis and I tightened down the pulley bolt it couldn't hold the pressure and cracked right off.
Good news is that I found a vendor from corvetteforum who happened to buy up some of the surplus from GM when they discontinued the C5. So I got a brand new OEM pump and pulley for considerably less than the dealerships charge.
It should be here on friday and I plan on taking the two pumps to the dealership (since they are close) and have them swap the pulleys and bolts for me. Then I can just bolt the thing on................fill it with fluid this time
, and call it a day.Does anyone have a better Idea than taking the two pumps to the dealership?
I don't have the tools to swap the pulleys and want it done by a knowledgeable person!!!!!
