Thanks your video helped a bunch. And your pump looked exactly like the one I changed on a 97 Chevy Lumina. Just changed the hub at O reily. In the parking lot. Never needed to rent the puller. Or pay a core charge. Total time 20 min. Used 3-1 oil for my butter

The screw for the pulley being pushed back on keeps popping out. Any idea why?

[@danieljaramillo2617]

So for all power steering pumps u have to take off the pulley? Cuz i have an 06 scion xb and need to put new pump. Just curious never done it before.

[@Zulfburht]

Dang it I’m gonna have to pull my pump off and find a place to work on it now.

[@williamelliott618]

i was told not to add anything to the shaft for lubing to help install that it was to be a compressed pully but having problem getting my pully to go on as smooth as you did will the spray dry up after installed

[@klowny1969]

A little butter sauce won't hurt anything

[@ginsuma1402]

Extremely helpful. I was fighting for 20 minutes trying to press it on with just one wrench LOL. Then I didn't lube the shaft so I just threw a little vaseline under the pulley on the shaft and 30 minutes and 100 quarter turns later it was flush.

[@klowny1969]

nice..glad you got it on..dont forget to subscribe

[@dylanpaulk7878]

Is the screw on the puller supposed to screw into the hole or just kinda sit on top of it?

[@juanchochaprieta1053]

How do in know if my power steering pump is bad,or is the power steering pulley the one who needs to be changed???

[@CatspitProductions]

Okay so I have a 79 Z-28 Camaro and the power steering is not making any noises. Pulleys turning fine. Fluid full and no other symptoms except the power steering does not work. Would you suggest flushing the system before changing the pump? Or would a clog make the pump have a noise? Re-manufactured pump. If I have to get the pulley on the new pump, how am I to be sure it will line up with the pulley on the engine when I press it on? Only the dirt mark from the old pump?

[@klowny1969]

CatspitProductions push in the pulley until it bottoms out..a bad pump can make no noise

[@CatspitProductions]

Thank you very much!

[@mr.unknownforreal7052]

I wouldnt get a reman, best to get new stuff

[@dkeith45]

I must have a weird puller/installer set because although it allowed me to remove the pulley, it won't reinstall it. My set has a separate double ended screw that is screwed into the pulley shaft, then into the installer, but since that allows the pulley to turn, it fails every time, it just unscrews the installer.

[@matthewespindola]

There's other's videos on CZcams about doing this but yours is the best by far, thanks man. Great explanation and detail. In your experience is a little bit of back and forth play on the pulley shaft normal? I'd say I can move the pulley front to back on the shaft about an eighth of an inch (not left and right though, so it's not wobbly). Seems like from what I've read online that's normal but just wondering what your experience on this.

[@Xxmeca421xX]

thanks, the other video i just watched was 12 mins long...

[@mastapimp189]

at 2:07 that tool isnt threading in well inside my pump, any ideas on what i can do?

Klowny1969, just replaced PS pump in a 99 E450 superduty. Bought a pump with a pulley already pressed on but the serpentine belt jumps over about two grooves when its cranked up. Reset the belt and it happens again. Doesnt look like the pulley on the new pump is lining up with the others. Can I use this method to crank the pulley out a bit to match up to the other pulleys?

[@klowny1969]
