How to remove and install a Power Steering Pump Pulley

@ 2:53 - Power steering pump pulley removal & install
For anyone replacing their power steering pump for the first time, here are 5 things that I wish someone would've told me before replacing my power steering pump.

[@bstec1980able]

I was a little scared at first cause dude was telling his life story, but then after that he comes out with the best pulley removal and install video I have watched... Thank you for this very very helpful video.

[@spelunkerd]

I've watched dozens of videos of this procedure through the years, and this one is the best by far. One thing worth remembering is how far on the pulley is in the car before you removed it. Most are flush with the end of the shaft, but be sure you remember since you need to replicate what was there before you removed it. Even a mm of difference can lead to belt squeal and problems down the road.

[@JeepArmyUSA]

Thank you and i feel the same about noting the pulley clearances. On the flip side, now that one knows how to remove and install the pulley, it’s never too late to dial it in and line the belt up exactly where it needs to be before there’s a problem.

[@scott-ey1wj]

Thanks for the heads up. Appreciate it

[@rodneysmart9774]

1:00 I was explaining to my wife about always educating myself BEFORE I go deal with the guys at O'Reilly's. Nice work helping out with the blankets.

[@bigredjohnson6921]

This was BY FAR the best tutorial video I've ever watched. Great explanation with the demonstration. Video and audio quality was right on.

[@adelshatwan9468]

i need one

[@adelshatwan9468]

Thank you so much

[@johnvmtb5440]

Thanks for sharing your experience on renting a tool and how to pull and install a steering pump pulley 👍👍

[@lazybbones]

Thank you so much! My pully on a 2001 Ford 1/2 ton is made of plastic and it shattered while my wife was driving, and it scared the pee-waddle out of her, but she made it home somehow. That is something I have never heard of, actually, so I am so very glad I found this video. I am hoping I can find a replacement that is not made of plastic. The tips at the beginning are a wise addition, by the way. You don't always get the "don't do like I did" with these DIY videos.

[@miguelsanchez404]

I’ve watched dozens of videos trying to figure out how to do this by far the best video I’ve seen explaining how to use the tools

[@JeepArmyUSA]

That’s what’s up 👍

[@miguelsanchez404]

Just finished tanking and installing the pulley tanks to your video definitely subscribing thank you for the thorough video

[@arturovalderrama4626]

THE BEST HOW TO, EXPLAINED VIDEO, I GOT THE SAME PULEY OUT SET, BUT, WITHOUT THE INSTRUCCIONS, DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE IT, NOW, THANKS YO YOU, I'M READY TO REPLACE MY POWER STEERING THANK YOU !! GREAT VIDEO

[@adamc.4336]

I am about to do my first pump replacement and no video was as clear cut as this. Thank you for taking the time to make the DIY mechanics life easier! I do have one pet peeve, I personally wouldn't lubricate between the shaft and pulley out of caution for even the slightest slippage but that's just my OCD kicking in i'm sure. Not even sure the lube would stay with the snug fitting rather just scrape off.

[@JeepArmyUSA]

Thanks for checking out the vid and in my case, the shaft & pulley were so snug that the residual lube left on the shaft never had a chance at slipping the pulley. That is a really tight press fit.

[@bat__bat]

5:02 Everything you need to know about the pulling action. Took me a minute to understand 💡 🤔 Thanks for video. That little half pieced tool is the magic that allows the little presser set to pull like a spider puller.

[@chadfield376]

Great to the point pulley removal video, I have that same power steering pump on my '75 Dodge D100; loved the sarcastic no water/power comment Lol. I lived in Salado during that time and just got back from my last deployment in Feb and then this crazy winter storm hit knocking out the central TX power (that ONCOR was not apparently ready for). I remember huddling and sleeping by the fire place with the family because that was our only heat source. Kudos to you and your family for still doing volunteer work in the middle of that misery helping with the hospital blanket drive:-)

[@johnmix5045]

EXACTLY what I was looking for! Will be doing it on a boat on the water. Didn't want to be running back and forth from marina for tools.

[@jscuddz89]

Just bought an A4 with a bad power steering pump and I feel 100% more confident fixing it myself now after watching this

[@relicme4103]

Great video man! It’s been over twenty years since I’ve had to do one of these. Just got a kit to use and definitely needed the brush up course!! Great job & thanks a lot!!😎

[@kayeninetwo3585]

Thanks for an informative and clear video. I'll be installing a pump in the next few days and wasn't sure how to tackle the pulley. This was a big help!

[@billboyle7866]

Excellently presented how-to video. Removal and installation procedure simplified. Thanks.

[@joshuacoboslookwhatifound3523]

I learned from you,thanks bro,I did open the wrong way LOL,but when I returned it I showed them.

[@BlackOpsGarage]

That was the absolute most tolerable most incredible you should be in radio for instructing from manuals that you want to stick a pic in your ear cuz you can't listen to them them thank you so much for doing this video it helped me out tremendously

[@JeepArmyUSA]

😂

[@reidbennett5650]

the Texas snowstorm comment was gold lol, great video and thanks for being a good member of your community

[@ish9411]

This the best video by far, I appreciate a lot your out here day for me and everyone else 😎

[@cyrusstewart3314]

Just knocked out removal and install in no time thanks to your video!! Thanks man

[@FastandFoody]

Nice video and I appreciate you explaining pretty much everything that needs to be said.

[@suewatson1912]

Thank you for this great video. At age 65 I have never done this repair, but with the help of this video i think I will do just fine.

[@greg1629]

Hey man I bought this same kit Amazon and I'll tell ya I had the most horrible time trying to figure it out. In my opinion the directions aren't that clear so your video helped me out tons. My biggest mistake was an obvious one which was not using anti seize lubricant to lube up the screws and the pully shift however i scored with this video wish it was at the top of the list this one is the best I could find.

[@christopherwietrick7911]

Great detailed video. Thank you for taking the time putting this together and sharing.

[@kevingrabkowski5505]

This hobby keeps me sane. Feeling good and confident. Thanks 👍

[@ToyManFlyer1100]

1...Love the fact you used simple tools, not impacts and such....2...Love the fact you didn't use a vise for the pump body...Why..???... Not, evry body has a Million dollar shop and Gold-plated tools to work on vehicles....Thanks 😊...

[@gregoryvickiangeles4305]

Nice Video on the removal and installation of my pulley on my 2000 Ford Mustang.

Unbelievable presentation !!! THANK YOU

[@philipyelito9873]

IT'S A CRYING SHAME WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS WHEN SOME OLDER MODELS HAVE A SHAFT WITH A KEY WAY A BOLT AND A LOCK WASHER. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS REMOVING THE BOLT AND SLIDING THE PULLEY OFF. GOOD VIDEO THOUGH

[@AG-cz9cu]

Thanks bro. This was most informative and I like how you ended the video

Great video right on time thank you Very informative

[@standaffern6595]

I could smell the power steering fluid while watching this video…or maybe it’s just my coffee! The Napa Numb Nuts at the store I went to, didn’t even know what I was talking about when I asked about a puller kit for a power steering pump. Must have been the first pump they ever sold. Started showing me a bunch of different 3 jaw and steering wheel pullers they had for loan. Also told me a 6.0 didn’t exist for my 2005 Silverado. Used to be a guy worked his way up from “Greasemonkey” to “Counter-guy”cause he got tired of smelling like gear oil at the end of the day, therefore he had some basic knowledge to share with the customers. Now I get blank stares when I ask them a question. Or they just ask if my truck came with the power window option, or has the off-road package. I told her it was the Z-71… blank stare… Then they didn’t even bother to call me when my parts came on. Was supposed to be there in 2 hours but 16 hrs later still no phone call, so I called them and they said oh ya, they are back here on the shelf. Numb Nuts for sure! Guess I might as well shop at Orielleys. 8:38

[@Fractureless1]

The end😂. Thank you very much for making this video!

[@caseysporter]

Perfect description.

[@peggypatton9170]

Thank you mine on my 08 f150 broke pulley some type hard plastic that broke .So here few hours I got go autozone do pretty much this thank you for your help

[@paulblakeslee5119]

Nice DIY video. Thanks

[@73SDR]

Thanks a lot for the demonstration. I've never pulled a PS pump pulley, but may need to in the near futrure.

[@enghhh82]

As you said, the manual is very important thing most people ignore it, I bought this kit and forget all the time how to use it. the threading of one of the guide bolt worn out due to my wrong technique. That was a costly lesson!

[@bryana9229]

Man you made this easy for me bro! Thanks!

[@GangGreen1550]

Great Video Thank you for making it!!

[@xodiac1220]

Tremendously helpful. Might put this video to use in a day or two. Was on my way home to fix a DIFFERENT issue with my car when this pulley just broke off. I’m less than a week out from buying my sister’s car off of her. Nowhere near the level of your misfortune, which I’m sincerely sorry to hear. But yeah, I’m not even sure that this car is worth fixing.

[@aaronhassel9241]

😆😆😆 if that actually happened it would not be funny but I knew I just laughed so hard at how long your story went on about about the blankets in the hospital and all. Most definitely makes it interesting video that part of the story hook me into watching the whole video thanks for keeping it interesting keep making.

[@Rich4345]

Brill video mate. I’m about to take off . When putting the pulley back on how will I know if pulley on will it just be tight . If that make sense

[@JeepArmyUSA]

If you’re asking how you’ll know if it’s on tight after pressing it back on. I’d say you’ll know from the act of pressing it back on. So basically, you’ll feel the amount of pressure and force it takes to get it back on. It shouldn’t go on super easily.

[@Rudy97]

I used a press to get the pulley off but was thinking how the shaft would come out the back if I tried to press it on. Didn't know that's what the threads are for.

[@garycrawford6912]

Awesome video man,thank you very much

[@rharris7635]

Great video and rental tips. Thanks1

[@marckemp9955]

Bought my puller/installer at HF. They might be good enough for extremely light duty stuff and I oiled the pee out of the pushing bolt and the threads still stripped. So today after running out of other things that needed done i rented the tool from O'Reilly's. HUGE DIFFERENCE! had the pulley on in very little time. Wasted 2 hours with the cheaper tool.

[@scottamsel3690]

Thanks for the great video!!!!!

[@bigworm6442]

Don’t waste your time with other videos. JEEPARMY is the first video I’ve found that details the pulley on the pump. This was very helpful in determining if I needed to remove the center of the shaft before pulling the pulley. Seems like a small detail, but it’s not. Hint; there’s no fitting to remove prior to the pulley.

[@djjamminjimlawton6365]

great explanation. Thank you.

[@alejandrovargasornelas2016]

hahahah i loved the end. i subscribes just cuz of that. besides is is help full and informational straight to the point.

Excellent explanation 👌

[@Atlantic-eagle53]

Great video, can i do it without pulling out the whole thing?

[@johnnys3160]

What do you do when it's a bult on pully. I can only get 2 threads.

Thx, great video

[@siggyretburns7523]

Can we get to the part where the pulley gets removed already?

[@terryhauck2982]

NAPA NUMB NUTS. I love it. Good advice. Thanks

[@JeepArmyUSA]

Lol. I’m really showing them love. They’re my favorite parts store.

[@m.e.summer5541]

I just did this on my car...thank you 😊

[@AdamHessenflow]

Is this possible while the pump is still mounted?

[@AtomicFallout757]

It might depend on the style of pump and accessibility, but generally speaking it is possible and should be easier when the pump is mounted since it won't want to move around while you are working on it.

[@westsidthing]

Great video great job

[@Niko.and.Starfox]

i have no room between the pulley and the radiator. do i have to remove the radiator just to pull this? i can't even undo the bracket since the pump bolts to the bracket behind the pulley.

[@JeepArmyUSA]

Without seeing it, it’s hard to say but based on your description, it does sound like the rad needs to come out to make room.

[@brendanmoriarty8950]

Good stuff

[@extrememiami]

I just put a new power steering pump and pulley on. I have to say only buy powerbuilt puller remover its so much bugger and easier than others. My belt is now squeeling though. I dont have a laser. How else can you tell? Should I just try to push the pulley on more? I stopped when it got super hard to push it on anymore. How in the world would someone know when its on enough? I had no clue I'd need to deal with how far on it needs to go. Just figured push it on till it dont go no more and youre done. Apparently not though.

[@JeepArmyUSA]

I aligned mine by eye and just made sure it was straight. I did however have a squeal at first, the belt was just loose.

[@Rich4345]

Sorry to bother u again gonna try take one of the pulley off today on my Chrysler. Is it still same way with the belt still on whilst taking pulley off and putting back on , thanks

[@JeepArmyUSA]

I don’t think so. In my case I had to loosen the belt tension and remove the belt completely so it’s out of the way.

[@Rich4345]

@@JeepArmyUSA this is a Chrysler grand voyager 2004 . I’ve got the pulley where alternated belt goes that’s got tentioner . But in front there another belt which goes to a pulley on the steering pump. But has no tensioner . If that makes sense . I need to remove that belt to replace the alternator belt behind it ! 🤔 wander if you could help

[@JeepArmyUSA]

@@Rich4345 someone has to have uploaded a how to on this. Even if it’s not exactly, it should get you going.

[@raymondtrevino6370]

How far should the pulley go on , will it stop where it should

[@JeepArmyUSA]

Depends on your setup. Main thing is to make sure the pulley goes back on the same distance it was before you removed it.
