Is there any way to get it loose without removing the pulley? I need to put the bolt in the block for the brackets that is behind the pump and can't do it with the pump in place.

WRONG unless the 2.2 had a diferent system, there should be three holes in the pully, rotate and put the socket through that hole

AutoZone. Free Tool rental. Easy Fix.


You can also do it without removing it. It requires enough swearing to embarass a merchant marine and large quantities of alcohol.

Yep, or atleast every one that I have seen since 87' or so. I have removed one without the tool but Dig is right, you will scratch / gouge other parts and you hands too. Just not worth it and if you own one of these trucks you really should have one anyway. At $20 bucks.... you can't loose!

I'm strongly considering drilling 3 good sized holes in the pulley... solve the problem permanently.

I had to pull the alternator on my Volvo the other day and the PS pump pulley had holes in it. What do you think the chances are of there being another make/model powersteering pump pulley with the same dimensions as ours, but with holes in it?

I could make billet aluminum pullys with the 3 holes but im sure they'd be no less than $100. I don't see to many syty'rs jumping in that boat.

edit: after thought, at this point you would still need a puller/installer to get the old one off and new one on. on the flip side it would be a sweet looking part and could be anodized in different colors, or black.

Re: Power steering pump removal

the shaft that the pulley mounts on.. isn't it threaded in the middle? wouldn't it be possible to bolt down a pulley via that?
