How do you use a puller to install a power steering pump pulley?
The puller will not put it back on. It's made to remove it only.
To reinstall the pulley requires a bolt about 3 inches long, a nut, and flat washer that fits the bolt. There are threads inside the hole on the end of the pump shaft where you insert this bolt. First place the pulley onto the shaft and hold it in place, then install the bolt into the pump shaft. Then hold the bolt head with one wrench, while you tighten the nut and washer against the pulley with another wrench, and it will push the pulley onto the shaft.

What part do you need to replace if the steering on a 1985 Jeep CJ7 is really loose?
well first you need to know that it can be more then one item. so a little inspection is in order. have someone, engine running brake on, move the steering wheel back and forth a2 to 3 inches while you look at the steering linkage. areas that are weak are: drag link end (tie rod end that attaches to the pitman arm on the gear box) if it moves side to side and or pops up and down change it.
the frame. yup the frame can be cracked. look close at the gear box mounting brackets. are they moving around? if yes, remove bolts, clean and reinstall with lock tight.
check the frame rails where they attach to front cross member and the bumper bolts. what your looking for is movement. any is bad. if all that is good there is a "slip joint" on the shaft that connects to the gear box. see if there is any play there. (a trick, if play is present remove clip holding rubber cover in place, pull joint apart and you will notice 2 small "slip bushings" very carefully remove the spring clip and turn the slip bushings (square bushings) 180 degrees and reinstall with clean grease.
and last-- take your jeep to a good alignment shop and have the suspension and steering inspected.

What is wrong if your power-steering is blowing back?
What could you possibly mean by blowing back?
Answer 2When you say blowing back, is the fluid in the reservoir airated? It could be that the pump is cavitating or you have a problem on the feed line from the reservoir to the pump if the reservoir is a remote one. Sounds like the pump requires attention.www.powerbrakeandsteering.co.za

It sounds like your power steering fluid may be low. (you might have a leak) I'd check it and top it off if necessary. Keep an eye on it to see if it's leaking. If so, add some fluid with stop leak. I highly recommend Gold Eagle brand. It fixed a leak for me where nothing else would.
