How do you get the pulley off of a power steering pump on a Ford F-150?

Answer 1

The pully is pressed on, so you will need to remove pump from vehicle and have the correct tools to remove the pully from the pump.

I just did this today. I have a 1994 F-150 300-6. I purchased a pulley puller from an auto parts store and pulled the pulley off before removing the pump (took 2 people for me!). This also required removing the radiator fan shield to get clearance for the puller. You cannot remove the pump first because there is not clearace to remove the bolts. I chipped the pulley in a few places fighting the bolts, so be gentle. I didn't get an installer, so needless to say, I haven't put the new pump on (as far as I can see, its impossible without one). I'll update as soon as I get it on! As a side note, the pulley has to be ordered from Ford directly (unless someone is better than me...can't find it online), so again, be gentle.

I think Ford does the same as everyone else, in that the shaft is threaded, in which case you can just run a bolt, and tighten it to re-install the pulley. If not put the pulley on first, and find some very thin wrenches to tighten those bolts. In 30 years I have never pulled the pulley off on the car, so, I know it can be done. If need be bolt the brackets onto the pump before installation, then install pulley, then re-install pump.The reason you have to order pulley from Ford, is because it is not supposed to be taken off. If you want one cheaper, and quicker, go to your nearest high performanbce store. We run custom pulleys on race motors all the time. They will probably have one in stock. Dont overcomplicate things.
