75 Power Steering Pulley?
How does the power steering pump pulley come off and go on? My pump started leaking and I need to replace it.

Go to any local parts store like Autozone, Advance, or Oreilly. They have a specific free rent tool that pulls the pulley off and presses it back on. You must use this tool for both as the pulley is press fit. DON'T EVER try to hammer it back on.
Usually those places rent the tool for free.

A tip I will give you, is to oil the threaded shaft very well. It will have a lot of pressure on it and if the threads get hot while they are dry you will knurl the heck out of it.
Just drip some motor oil on the shaft when removing and installing the pulley.

Yes and no. If the fan shroud is out of the car, yes. If it's in, maybe, but probably not.
It's best if done on the engine so you can line it up with the other pulleys. It has to be aligned since there is no stop for the pulley...no shoulder for it to stop at and you have to use the grooves of the other pulleys to align it properly.

Typically the specification is to press the pulley flush with the end of the pump driveshaft. But the interference fit pulley does provide some ability to align things very closely. Just don't go overboard.
