I can't get this damn thing off. I need to get the pulley off just to get to the bolts that hold the pump on. I see a little allen-head inside and have tried using an allen wrench and a big bar for leverage, doesn't move an inch. Soaked the thing twice with WD-40, still nothing. All it's doing is breaking my tools, this thing WON'T come out. Am I doing the right thing or is there another way to get this pulley off?

You have to use a p/s pulley puller. It kinda like removing a balancer.

Besides the borrow from auto supply thing you can take the pump off with the pulley still attached with a bit more effort on your part.

I've seen some say that the correct puller can be found from places like Harbor Frieght and such for 10 to 15 bux.

I want to remove the whole pump, but can't get to the bolts that hold it on unless the pulley is removed. It's just in the way of the bolts. Any suggestions?

Take the pulley off and be done with it.
