PULLEY REMOVAL PROCEDURE

Tools Required
J25034-B Pulley Pump Remover
Remove the air intake resonator and mass airflow assembly (LS1 only).
Remove the serpentine belt. Refer to Drive Belt Replacement (Accessory) in Engine.


Use the J 25034-B in order to remove the power steering pulley from the power steering pump.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Tools Required
J 25033-B Pulley Pump Installer
IMPORTANT:


3.8 Liter Engine: Ensure that the face of the pulley hub is flush with the end of the pump shaft before you apply a load to the pulley hub.
5.7 Liter Engine: Ensure that the pulley hub shoulder bottoms out completely on the pulley shaft before you apply a load to the pulley hub.
Ensure that the pulley goes on snug when installing the pulley with the special tool. If the pulley installs onto the pump shaft too easily, it will not relay engine power to the pump and should be replaced.


Use the J 25033-B in order to install the power steering pulley to the power steering pump.
Install the air intake resonator and mass airflow assembly (LS1 only)
Install the serpentine belt. Refer to Drive Belt Replacement (Accessory) in Engine.
Check power steering operation and visibly check pulley for any irregular wobble when operating.
