Good to see it being done while on the engine in the complete vehicle. This has been my strategy. Also appreciate the info of the two surfaces being flush as confirmation of being completely on.
Excellent video man,very well explained and some nice quiet background music to go with it, don't understand why some people want to explain something to you while playing heavy metal in the background at 300 decibels.
OK, aint gonna sugar coat it. I just finished this job on my 4.3ltr S10. It's a bear. Forget put pulley in the sun or heat gun. Use a propane torch. But first, get a large pair of vise grips and grind them down so that they are slightly thinner than the hub. You have to be able to grip hub but still have a small clearance for tool to get flush with shaft/outer edge of hub. Heat hub for 4-5 minutes. Get a good grip (not extreme) on the hub with V Grips. Find a pipe to put on thumb screw of vice grips for cheater bar purpose (I used a hyd bottle jack handle). Use large adjustable wrench (Crescent) on large nut on collar of install tool. Wear gloves. Never would have believed it would go on harder than it came off but got it. A few teeth marks on hub but strap wrench I had was too small and don't know if it would have held anyway. Geez. Good Luck.
@@xesberto937 Yeah, sorry. That was 3 years ago and I remember it fought all the way, but I can't figure out what I was talking about in what I wrote either. The jist is, when installing the PS pump pulley. Heat the center hub of the pulley, I tried a heat gun but it didn't get it, use a propane torch. But before you start, go through the whole process in your mind and have all your tools at the ready. Seriously, take a dry run before you heat it. When you take it off the heat you have to move fast. You have to be able to screw down the install tool but not have the pump turn. It's like trying to wash 3 cats at one time and 1 of them will burn the shit out of you if you touch it all while applying about 125ftlbs of torque. All while standing with your head upside down. Make sure you have your light situated just right so you can see well while doing this., you don't have time to go chasing it if you knock it down. Make sure it's out of the way and secure. Thick welding gloves, safety glasses and all the determination and umph you can muster. Good Luck Alberto. Lemme know how it goes.
I replaced the power steering pump assembly on my 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue, put the pulley back on, and currently, it's wobbling. The pulley is flushed to make ends meet, and I don't understand why it's doing that. I had a coolant leak previously and fixed that last week, yet it still wobbles a bit and squeaks/chirps. Should I install a new belt, idler, and tensioner pulleys?
Does the reman pump have the same light steering as the original pump? I put 3 reman pumps in my 06 Corolla because all the reman pumps make my steering heavy. Should i just rebuild my original pump???
I saw a video of a guy installing a power steering pulley & he said put a little grease on the shaft before installing is this a good idea ?? If it is a good idea can I put wheel bearing grease on the pump shaft ?
Bad idea! Never ever ever put grease on it. It is supposed to be a hard pressed fit. If there is grease on the shaft it can cause slippage or worse fall off while driving. Thanks for watching!
Hi, 2CarPros I have a dodge ram 1500 mod 99, is making a noise, so i change the tensioner pulley, but when i was locating the band, i so that the steering pulley has a movement, like it's a little loose, do i have to change it, or a little of movement its normal on it, thanks for the help
i have a problem on my nissan sentra supersaloon pulley. it is croocked and pulled out of line makes a squeaky sound and i think its detrimental to engine. what do i need to do?
The reason you need to pull the pulley is because your new pump comes bare! No pulley! Remove old pulley so you can put it on new pump BEFORE you give the parts store your old pump as core. Just borrow their tool while there...come back with core and tool for credit back for both!
How do you remove the pulley on the power steering pump of a 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe 3.5L? It doesn't have the port up on that extends out so is it just pressed on or what?
No. Factory doesn't give to shits about what's easier for mechanics. That's been obvious for decades on all Manufacturers. The clutch fan on my Chevy truck is threaded on and it's not really easier to remove anyway.
great video, but do we ALL have to use our air ratchets as a manual ratchet for this, or would it be cool if I hooked up the air and saved my wrists all of that hard work? Sorry, I just had say it! Seriously though good video!
+valerie godfrey Our experts will be glad to help, please use our free question form so they can reply to your question personally.www.2carpros.com/questions/new
I don't understand how the bolt and nut tool install both are right hand, some times the power strering shaft start rotarig when the pressure resistance between the shaft and pulley is grater than the torque on the bolt screwed in the shaft. For me the best tool should be one end rh thread bolt and the other end lh thread with the rh thread nut. Just saying
I know what you mean!! I thought the stud was left hand thread and the nut was right hand. I would just end up unscrewing the stud or making the pulley turn. The way I solved this was to grip the pulley wyth my hand, turn the stud till it would reach the end, then ignore it and just turn the nut with a long wrench in yanking motions while gripping the pulley hard with the other hand. Eventually you'll get to the point where you don't have enough grip strength to keep the pulley from turning, but by that time the pulley will be in enough where you can put the belt on all the pulleys and the tensioner will keep the PS pulley from moving and you can finish the job with much less stress!
Large strap wrench around pulley. Test all your tools fit before proceeding. Heat hub of pulley with heat gun or propane torch. Wear thick leather gloves.
When I try to install the pulley back in, it stops halfway through and i noticed that the threads on the installer are stripped. Any ideas how to fix this?
I'd try an other installer then. The first one we tried also stripped but that was a cheap knock off one. So we got our better one out and it worked great. Thank you for watching!
You wouldn't, but you have to pull the pulley off on some cars to get to the water pump bolt. That is right behind it. Like on the 95 z28 camaro. With the lt1 in it. Hope that helps.
+gary robinson LOL I am here for my 2000 Malibu as well. Got in the car this morning and smelled a burning rubber smell and no power steering. Just looking to see what joy I have to look forward to this weekend. This will be my first power steering pump replacement. :-)
Do you guys or anyone who sees this, an instructional video on how to take off a power steering pump from a 2001 Chevy venture van? Any help would be appreciated!
that tool should come with a collar that goes around those two pieces then no need for that hose clamp. Most sets come with that collar except that piece of junk. But gotta do what you gotta do
2CarPros I managed to borrow one from a friend.I took the pulley off without any problem but when I tried to put it back the bolt that screws in the steering pump shaft( the one that forces the pulley back into place) won't hold. I live right on the Texas coast and rust is a big problem down here. I believe rust ate the thread and I could only manage to force the pulley so much before the thread gave away, I still need about a quarter of an inch til flush. What should I do in your expert opinion? Should I get a new steering pump?
Why in the world are you using a pneumatic ratchet ? Then, we see you using a flex-ratchet ? Neither of these two ratchets are the "proper" tool to be using IMHO. A straight ratchet (on swivel or flex) would be the preferred tool. This video shows the basic procedure, but I'm experiencing something not covered here. My pump shaft keeps turning while I'm ratcheting my installation bolt (Installing the pulley) and this causes my installation bolt to unthread from the shaft, prior to the pulley being fully pressed on. Anyone else have this issue ? Thanks for the video dude.
Not even close to this easy spent 7 hours trying to pull one off with this stupid tool went and got a 3 jaw puller and it was off in 5 minuets. Junk puller set
Thanks for the thumbs down my man. Its any GM truck from the mid 2000s. They are all the same. All power steering pulleys are taken off and put on the way. The make and model doesn't really matter.

Same problem with the tool slipping off had me searching the net for a solution. Found it here with the band clamp. Thank you!!!
Hi, if the pulley is not flush with the inner surface, does that mean it not tighting all the way or you have a bad pulley, pump bearing?
Thank you broh I did so well in my truck thank you so much..
Great vid very simple to understand
Thank you for watching!

PS pulley should be very tight on the shaft with no movement between them whatsoever. Pulley should not wobble when spinning on shaft.
i have a problem on my nissan sentra supersaloon pulley. it is croocked and pulled out of line makes a squeaky sound and i think its detrimental to engine. what do i need to do?

how do i remove even the little tank and the rest of it on jeep liberty 06 ? do you have a full video ?
What do you do if pully shaft an pully both came out?
My 04 envoy power steering pump has an Allen Screw in center of pulley. must I remove this first?
+mgoodell76 that is not an Allen screw it is just the front of the shaft, the pump pulley must be pulled off much like the video above.
Oh shit! No wonder I couldn't budge it last night. I feel like a dumbass. Tyvm for help. And great video!
The pulley on new pump is slightly bigger. Got belt on but 1 rib broke shortly after driving for a bit. Hoping a bigger new belt is answer.
+mgoodell76 that is not an Allen screw it is the end of the shaft you must use a puller like the one in this video

No they can be you just need a power steering pulley puller and installer. You can usually rent them for very cheap at a local parts house.
