To take the Power Steering pump pulley off of many later model GM products requires a special puller made for that purpose. It is available from Autozone on their loaner tool program. The same set includes another puller to put the pulley back on.
Some water pumps also use the same style pulley.
You will have to get a tool called a Power steering puller to remove the pulley. Then another tool that puts it back on.
You can't do it without destroying one or the other.

You can bypass the power steering pump pulley in your 1993 Buick regal 3.8 liter engine. Measure the distance around the other pulleys, without the power steering pump pulley. Take the measurement to your local auto-parts stores and ask for a belt of that measurement.
Take it to a mechanic
yep, you have to take the pulley off using a power steering pulley puller, easily found for rental at autozone. the part that sucks is putting the pulley back on. when you figure that out, IF you figure that out, everything else will be fine.
Are you sure that bolt has to come out to change water pump? That bolt should be one of three that hold the p/s pump to the bracket. Those bolts are removed by removing the p/s pulley first. That requires a special puller to r & r the p/s pulley.
Most newer pumps have the pulley pressed on. This is largely so that you usually have to replace the entire pump, or take it to some one who has the proper equipment.
I believe you are referring to the power steering pulley. The tensioner pulley is a different system altogether. You must, however, locate the tensioner pulley to remove the belt before you remove the power steering pulley.The tensioner pulley should be generally easy to access from the top of the engine bay. It is the only pulley that should be attached to an arm that is mounted somewhere close on the block. (with the engine running at idle, look for the pulley that appears to be bouncing up and down). Turn the engine off before next steps...Use a tensioner tool to move the tensioner pulley away from the belt. With tension removed from the belt, the belt should slide off of the pulleys. With the belt now removed, you will loosen the bolt that holds the power steering pulley in place.(Power steering pulley is located on the power steering gear box, locate this by finding the power steering fluid reservoir. The reservoir should sit directly above the gear box).Once the bolt is removed, the pulley should come off the shaft (with some force). You may have to use a pulley puller tool if it does not come off by hand.Installation is reverse of removal. Good luck.
U need to purchase a Chevy power steering pump removal/install tool. its a small pulley type tool and will take the pulley off of the pump. once its off, there should be 3 bolts that hold the pump in place.
Take off the sockets and remove the pump pulley.
