Power steering pulley remover tool question
Hi all,
Before I begin applying force, via an impact, I am wondering about the non-threaded puller pin insert that goes down the inside of the snout of the PS pump pulley(within the internal threads) to keep unit straight and true. When that non-threaded piece bottoms out in there(If I use impact to turn jackscrew and just hold removal collar nut), is there anything down inside that snout that could get damaged from the force of the non-threaded puller pin using it as a base to push off against?!? FYI I have the Maddox puller set from HF. Thanks for any replies.

Thanks for input foggy & CinciZ06! I went for it yesterday and, after figuring out which tools to utilize for the job, it was a piece of cake! After attempting to use my impact to turn jackscrew while holding collar nut, it was making things go cockeyed. So, I changed to the standard socket wrench(with 1/2" socket for jackscrew), along with open end wrench......not enough leverage with little socket wrench. Broke out the HF 25" breaker bar(1/2" connector), along with a 13mm deep impact socket(fit on jackscrew) and the 25mm(fit on 1" collar nut) open end large wrench. I had let some liquid wrench soak in for a bit, and with the last combo of tools I listed, It came off like butter(In perfect condition----but I won't be reusing that junk). On to the PS pump rebuild
