The pulley is a press fit. If it no longer fits tight you need to replace it with a new one. This procedure requires special tools to remove and install the pulley to the pump. Some auto parts stores will rent the tools you need to do the job if you buy the parts from them.

How do you remove the power steering pump alternator bracket on a 1995 Chevy Silverado?

I need help on how to remove my powersteering pump? You must first remove the power steering pump pulley. Most part stores have a tool loaner program so you can borrow the puller and and return it and get your money back. After the pulley is removed there are 3 bolts holding the power steering pump to the bracket. Pull those and the long bracket that is on the back of the pump and connects to the exhaust manifold and alternator and the pump should slide out. This information is for a 5.7L engine, but I believe it is close to the same for a 4.3L.
