Default HELP! Power steering pump pulley removal

I've tried with 3 different pullers to no avail. This cheap plastic thing only bends. I'm dreading having the buy the GM tools for a $100. Is there any other way?????

Any tool in perticular or place to buy a little cheaper???? I tried Mac tools but I'd hate to order it to find out it doesn't work. I need to get the J number and call Chevy back to see what their price is.

This really sucks :mad

I borrowed the puller from Autozone and it worked well on my 85.

Uh, on my '96 the pulley is metal but there is a plastic cap on the hub. Just thought I'd throw that out just in case.

My puller pulls all the way around the bub flange so it doesn't overload a point. Still I've had mine deform slightly. Perhaps you have a hook type puller and need one that pulls the entire flange.

BTW, I got mine at autozone.

The whole thing is plastic on mine except for the center hub.

That's exactly the one I need but I don't remember seeing one like that the last time I was at Autozone, I'm going to stop in again on my way home today and double check. I'll stop at Murray's too.

O.k. Not that anyone cares. Autozone, for whatever reason didn't have the puller, but Murray's did.

Done! :D
