in todays repair video I am showing how to remove and install a power steering pulley. this will come in handy for the DIY crowd as some power steering set ups are attached to a bracket so in some cases removing the pulley is needed. This repair is easier than you think with using the special power steering pulley remover tool. Hopefully things won't be too seized and the pulley will come off easy. the power steering in this video is from a 3rd Gen Ls engine

standing over engine bay with only my hand tools, pully in hand, a head full of sweat, wrist hurting, 4 Smashed fingers. power tools definitely recommended, not necessary
Hi Folks, I have a power steering pump that does NOT have a threaded center. The method he is using made me crazy for hours until I read on a corvette post that some pumps only have a keyway and a nut holding on the pulley. No threaded female parts!! So, there is no need to pull it or press it on. This video is excellent, btw, for all press-on types of steering pumps. I hope this helps someone and they don't get crazy as I did. MK
Thank you! Had the tool forever and never needed it until today. Got me going!!!
Good vid! I rented a pulley puller and sat without a clue looking at it.
Tip, use a 1/2 in socket and 2 ft wrench to hold the install bolt.
Best pulley r&r I've seen . Great lighting i casee everything that needs to be seen. Thanks I'll keep watching.
That LS looks soooo good in there.
Can't wait to see and hear it fire up!
You put the washer on the wrong side of the thrust bearing which is why you had to hold the pulley with your hand. The washer must go against the inner race of the thrust bearing. This is the side with a tiny gap around the outer edge - inside the outer "cup". Also, for this pump, use the shortest threaded shaft to install the pulley.
You’re why I read the comments. Nice tip. Thanks👍
It don’t matter which way the washer goes it will still spin either way
Practical and to the point, good explanation.
Major props to you man. Every other idiot TH-camr has you using the threaded bolt to remove the pulley. I wrestled with it for two weeks trying to get it off, breaking the bolt in it. I came across your video last night and was able to pull it off in one minute with hand tools. Thank you so much. Anyone reading this, this is how you do it!. Rock on man!!!!
Looks like I have to order some more tools 😅
I got the same problem with the thread on the shaft!!!Thanks for sharing!!!
I bought the kit also. Installation: This I did not know. Thanks
thanks for making this video it helped me a lot
Huge help today! Thanks Jerry!
Best idea so far, using your hand to stop the pulley from turning. I'll try it and report back. So far I haven't been able to stop the shaft/pulley from turning which just unscrews the installer tool. EDIT, UPDATE 1/10/2020: Your method worked. I used a long handled ratchet, and braced it as shown to give one hand free. Was still a bit difficult to hold the pulley though so I added a rubber washer between the installer bearing and pulley and that did the trick. Got it up and running now, thanks OP.
Appreciate the video, used it to remove my ls pulley!
awesome ,thank you very much,,i have a kit but puting back on was confusing,,cause instructions say counter clock wise,,,instead clockwise like i thought
Same thing happened to me. Those instructions are not clear and I believe are not correct. Turned the 7/8 " nut clockwise and it went back on . Doing what instructions say will passiblly screw up the threads which may have happened to me. But it's done and I recommend not to mess with it any more.
@@DavidGurrney7589 you hold the wheel and the front nut,thenTURN THE MIDDLE CLOCKWISE,,,ato put it on
This helped me so much thank you! I have the same kit was only using hand tools was still a breeze :)
Hey thanks I get that exact same tool from HarborFreight
Any major Auto Parts store will loan you that pulley removal kit for around $45. Save your receipt though because when you return it you get your money back in full, Why buy a tool you'll use once and never use again.. Rent one for a day. or longer, There's no time limit.
At least on the LC9 07-14 you don’t HAVE to remove the pulley. It’s a hell of a lot easier but you can just pull the alternator off pull the accessory bracket off as a whole relatively easily
Try and find a video of removal and install inside a fully functional vehicle..lol, won’t happen cause it’s a BITCH to try and get to and change
I just bought this puller at Pincess Auto, great vid.
How do you remove the seized bolt that holds the pully onto the pump?!
Huge help!! Thanks man!!
Let's not exaggerate too hard, it took 18 seconds with the impact to get it off. 😂
Oh yea same here after I good the whole motor and everything connected to it out of the car ...... I appreciate the video but it's useless to me with the space restrictions I have. With it being in my damn car
Them pulleys suck ! Such a pain in the ass you got luck I have never had one go that easy 👍🏻
kind of reminds me of the cool sax playing owl from sesame street.
I’m rolling over here! 😂
.... You're RIGHT HE DOES 😁
Lol
LMFAO
😂😂
Thank you
Similar Kit at Harbor Freight for similar price if your in a hurry chat. Thanks for the video BSK
You're lucky that works so well. Bent the pulley on my 77 f150 and apparently nobody makes a new one.
most likley not for something that old
Is there a tio for keeping your pulley from turning? I'm trying to hold the pulley with my right hand while cranking the wrench with my left. Dont have enough strength to make it work.
If the pully is turning then most likely the threads are bad which he mentions you may need to retap the threads
Mine is pressed though, does that make a difference?
You got very lucky I have removed these several times they suck
In the middle of replacing the power steering pump in my slant 6 1980 Dodge aspen. Opened this rental kit from O'Reilley and I was like WTF? Thanks for the video, the kit works like a charm.
Thank you buddy
Awesome just Awesome 👌 👏 👍
I replaced a burnt up power steering pump and used the $7 harbor freight version of this puller to save the old pulley and some money. It was incredibly difficult to remove the pulley while still attached to the engine with hand tools and without removing the radiator. I pulled the pump with the pulley still attached and then used a 11/16 wrench and a 1/2 socket wrench to get the pulley off. Was way easier to remove the pulley after pulling the pump instead of wrestling with it while still mounted.
Thx 4 the vid i had a brain fart and forgot how it went back on
I used that H F pulley puller 3 times and the bearing finally crushed
GREAT VIDEO!
This is way better than the AutoZone video. You actually explain things
thank you very much for your video, i just installed my power steering pump and is good the only thing i pinched my radiator but your video helped me a lot thanks a lot
A thread chaser! I never thought of that! I feel so stupid! I'm working on mine right now, in fact. Like yours, the interior threads on mine are very rusty. I was able to only get 2 threads of the bolt into it. Amazingly, I was able to get the pulley about 1/2 way on, before those 2 threads gave way. I felt helpless. How do I get the bolt in, so I can finish this job?! A HAH!! A LOT of lubricant and a thread chaser will clean out those threads! YES!! That's what I'll try tomorrow. Thank you so much!
Yeah, everything works great when the entire front end is missing, it all goes so quick and easy, what a disgrace this new pulley is without the openings to remove the screws like they used to be, Made on purpose to be a pain in the ass! Just like the hoses to the gearbox, or the screws for the headlights . I am going electric so fast its gonna make the oil CEOs sorry they made the engineers design this garbage, Oil, and Gas internal combustion engines could have survived alongside electricity if not for the greedy designs of these CEOs well you greedier yourself out of the competition completely, "Here is a Tesla car FACT!" 2 million miles before maintenance!
How do you Align the pullys?
😂Gringos engineers always find a way to complicate simple things
I used the same tools but not remove the wheel out crown vict 2012
If you don't put the pulley it far enough and the belt will come off
Thank you for the demonstration...I will be doing mine this week
Thanks this is the first time I’m pulling my pump and putting a new one on I now know how to take off the pulley and put it back on
Lesson #1, never use power tools to remove pulleys. It's easier but you can easily damage the pump in doing that.
slicker than snot! cool. I looked at my chevy one time and went hmmm now how the heck does that pulley come off. Now I know! Thanks!
Im in the same boat rn this pully blocks the damn manifold
What was the size of the tap?
or thread chaser
Does that tool kit fit 305ci 5.0L v8 Chevy pwr steer pump pulley
3/8-16 tap for my 90s Chevy
Had new one put in my econoline and now I got a cricket sound, loud and clear. annoying, embarrassing
Hand tools was not fun pulling it off. Couldn't fit a impact in the engine bay
Well that was pretty fucking slick! Right tool for the right job saves you from a shit show and something inevitably being broken during a man tantrum!!!
I know right, having the proper tool makes all the difference
Very informative on how to use these tools. Thank you for taking the time to show us!
I replaced mine on a 98 ranger now truck is running rough any idea?
Work site and my pully came off lol it just slide off lmao damn I’m not late to work lmao gotta fix my truck
I like how he said without the right tools you’re going to be there a long time , he’s right
What size do you tap the main shaft with? 3/8 Fine or 3/8 Coarse?
Thanks for sharing bro. I’m guessing I’m going to need this tool to tighten it also? Mine is not sitting flush in the shaft and is wobbling about 1/8 inch. Hopefully I can tighten it down the shaft.
I removed it with 2 wrenches it sucked fuckin ass my fella!
Thanks a lot, I have a Holden Commodore VZ Ute with a bad belt and tensioner, for some reason GM's engineers decided to place one of the belt tensioner bolts right on the lip of the power steering pump pulley, so to change the belt tensioner either the pulley or the PS pump have to come off, taking the pulley off will be easier.
These car many. Put the cars together. They let you worry about taking it off. How dare you try to save some money.
Very informative. Thank you. I can't believe it is a press fit. Why, for the love of GM can't they just bolt/key it on. Another special tool needed. SMH
Mine looks like a Allen bolt goes in the center not threaded.
Easy when the engines out. How can you get a impact wrench on the pulley puller in a front wheel drive?
Jack it
You don't do it by hand not too bad just some time and patience.
Ahhhhhh welcome to being a mechanic sux101.....
I used this tool yesterday to pull the steering pump pulley. No space for the impact so hand tools only. It does take a minute. Good video
What if the end of the pulley is square not round
yes this should make my first try of changing power steering pump on 2004 pontiac Aztec i seen other people trying to do it without removing pully first ?
Mine came off, then put it back on, it goes on like it's supposed to, but now it slids off when u crank it up...what the heck happened?
Nice LS what is that? An old k15?
This job is a bitch to do with the right tools and impossible to do without them, especially if you are doing it in the vehicle. Just did it last night on a '92 Explorer. Hand tools only...I still hurt.
What size tap did you use
I'm about to wade into replacing my pull.
I removed itself an took the serpentine belt with it on my drive home the other day. It did not however, remove the center part of the pully.
The pulley broke apart and away from that center sleeve with the lip.
Doesn't look like it will matter since the tool applies force against/between the lip and the center pin.
I'll find out shortly.
What size tap did you use to clean pulley threads?
They are not all the same size so you will need to figure that out on your own
U don’t have ratcheting wrench?
Either I'm not doing it right or none of my harbor freight shit works on my 96 silverado... grrrrr😡🤬
Some pulleys can’t be removed
I figured it out. I just like to do things the hard way a few times.
Can I use the same tool you use for power steering to put on the water pump pulley for a 2002 Cadillac Deville?
Why doesn’t anyone use a ratcheting wrench to tighten? I sure do. Just crank a way.
You got all you need to do the job!
Did you have to remove the bolt to put the pulled in cause my truck has a bolt that won’t come loose in the pulley
Hands down this tutorial beats A1 auto by a fucking long shot.
What size is the tap that you use and where did you get it from
get to do this to my kids truck today, thanks for the video, but wheres the cussing and drinking?
It sux to pull it with hand tools, but at least in some engines you can do it with hand tools and not have to dismount pump or pull any body pieces or anything... "easy"
super easy actually, just hard to get to when u don't have a lift :/
Would I be able to put the pully on the pump then install the pump or is it not possible! Thanks
Nice thank you brother
Nice!! Thank you Sir .. That looks like its GM..
pulley shaft was turning with the wrench, this happens all the time.
Thanks bro you couldn't figure it out after watching so many videos
You tha maaaaannnn!!!
*Wheres the PBR?*
Some say rent the tool,I say all my vehicles are old
Mines frozen wont come off
Excellent!
