there is a special tool that presses the pully on. some part stores will let you borrow or rent one. a bolt and washer threaded into the center shaft will also work.
the pulley has to be pressed on and off. so, i would say no.
shoot it
You will need a pulley puller to remove a power steering pump on a 1996 Ford Windstar.
With a power steering pulley puller. This tool can be rented or bought from most auto parts stores.
According to the 1997 Ford Aerostar Owner Guide : ( Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used as the power steering fluid )
If you mean the power steering pump pulley, then rent a power steering pump pulley puller tool from Autozone. It does not screw off, the pulley is pressed onto the shaft.
Yes, automatic transmission fluid is the proper fluid for power steering systems. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( MERCON ) automatic transmission fluid in a 1997 Ford Aerostar power steering

Worn steering rack? Bad power steering pump? Low P.S. fluid? Worn steering components? Low tire pressure?
You will need a special tool to pull the pulley off the shaft. Some parts stores will lend you the tool, free of charge. Thank you. I had to rent the 'pulley puller', and remove the pulley prior to removing the power steering pump. Then replace the pump on the car and use the pulley tool to press the pulley back on to the pump shaft. There was not much room to work, even with the fan shroud loosened, but eventually I got it off and on. Again, thanks for the help.
The pulley needs to be removed before you can extract the pump, you can get the pulley removal tool at a car parts store.
I checked Chilton's and Haynes manuals and they both say to use Type F Automatic transmission fluid for the power steering.
