Tonight I'l gonna try putting my ps pulley in the oven to heat it up and then put it on. What temp level and how long should I bake it for?

i wouldn't do that. i know u were having a problem but with the right installer and some grease or anti seize on the shaft of the pump the pulley will easily press on. if the inside of the shaft of the pump is stripped and the tool wont work then u need a new pump.

I don't believe the inside of the shaft is stripped. I can't see inside but I just retapped it and a bolt seems to thread in fine. Maybe I'll give it one more try with a lot of lube. If that doesn't work then the beatch is going in the oven.

I put mine in the oven at 350 for like 10 minutes. I then applied RTV sealer in the keyway and oil on the outside of the hub. Dont go too hot or you may burn the front main seal.

make sure you don't have any rough surface on the shaft or inside of the pulley. I had the same trouble and i couldn't even get it on with the heating method but then my granmpa found an installer from his neighbor and it worked. I had the cheep tool that was supposed to take it of and put it back on and that didn't work for putting it on. and i also tryed the bolt/nuts/washer method and that didn't work either.

if the heat doesn't work you need this tool!

Does the pulley rotate when your trying to use the installer? I found out the hard way that it has to be stationary. I jammed a wrench wrapped in a shop towel thru an opening in the pulley and the power steering pump so the pulley wouldnt move, sprayed WD-40 on the shaft and slowly but surely the pulley started going in.

Any updates on how it went?

I used the tool from Napa (the borrowed one), and it went on with no problem.

Didn't get to it last night. I decided to finish wiring up my ignition and got it to turn over and idle on the first try after having had the balancer and distributor out. Such a good sound to hear after almost two months. After work I'm gonna drive to my friend's shop and borrow his tool, he's the snap-on one.

I put my pump in the freezer and i boiled water with the pulley in it, put lube on the shaft and they slid together like a porno movie.

Good idea, I like the boiling water idea as opposed to the oven. If the snap-on tool doesn't work then I'll try that.
