Default Power steering pump replacement

I’m doing a power steering system refresh for my ‘88 and was wondering how to get the power steering pump out of the bracket (The bracket, pump, and pulley is together and out of the vehicle.) I need to remove the pulley to get to the bolts for the pump, but I don’t know how to get the pulley off. Any help is appreciated!

You'll need a PS pulley puller-it's a specific type of puller. You can rent or buy it from auto stores or harbor freight. It's easy to use and will also allow you to put the pulley back on when needed.

Don't use a 3 jaw as it'll bend the pulley, p/s puller grabs from the center.
