Default Power Steering Pump Pulley Removal

Hello all:

I have my pump out of the reservoir and am ready to pull the pulley. I borrowed a pulley puller from advanced. As far as I'm aware the 3/8" hex bolt needs to be removed before the pulley can be pulled...now is this a left or right-hand thread? Also, any tips on holding the pulley/pump steady while I try to get the bolt out? It's stuck in there pretty good!

Thanks,
Riley

Not sure what year you have but...
Regular Thread

You can wrap an old v-belt around the pulley and hold it tight while turning the nut. Usually I use an air-gun and just blip it a few times and it'll normally come right off

If it's a cast pulley don't put it in the vise or pry on it as they are easy to break

It's a 75, does that change what thread pattern it is? My apologies I forgot to include it originally!

Nope, still standard thread.
The shaft is tapered rather than keyed as they are on the earlier ones.
