Pulley Pulling Tools
I posted this in the TECH area, but I know more folks hang out here, so I figured I would ask:
Okay folks, I am getting ready to do a HEADS and CAM swap and will be needing to pull my underdrive pulley and I went ahead and bought the power steering pulley too, so I need to know...
What specific tool do I need to pull and put back on the two pulleys.
Thanks in advance,
Micah

I think you will need a power steering pump pulley puller - I think they are about $40.00 or $50.00 from most automotive supply stores.
I had to replace the pulley on my 2001, and the mechanic that I had helping me said that taking the old pulley off, and certainly putting the new pulley on, was the hardest he had EVER encountered. Not because of limited space, but because of how hard the old pulley came off and how HARD the new pulley went on. I finally ended up taking a grade 8 bolt, and using an impact wrench to get the new fully fully seated on the shaft - and I was about to the point where the threads were going to start stripping themselves on the grade 8 bolt. TOUGH!!!
Good luck and hope your pulley changes easier than mine did!

Micah you can "rent" a puller from most auto parts places. By renting they charge you a lot of money for a cheap tool but welcome you to bring it back for a full refund when you are finished with it.
If your pulley really is wobbling it will actually be easier to remove because the wobbling slowly loosens the bolt.
