Hey everyone, I've been working on my 95gt for the last two days. It's time to replace the power steering pump. Well I need to get the pulley off right... Well I got the pulley puller from AutoZone and the pulley wasn't coming off and finally it looked like the special tool was warping/bending so I took it off. Well now after looking. At the pulley it looks torn/ stripped... I'll post A picture here. Now my question is how do I get this thing off since I can't use the puller, any suggestions?

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

That blows man. Honestly, put the power steering puller on it, snug it up, weld it to the pulley, pull it, cut weld off. Grind the puller clean, return to Autozone.

It looks like the puller is the wrong size. See if they have the smaller one and put it on the undamaged part of the pulley.

I will have to see if they got one, I guess I never realized they had different sized pullers.

I'm going to use the welding idea as a last resort. Though thanks for the out of the box idea!

Those kits have adapters for all types of pulleys. The collar wasn't fully engaged.
You may have to grind the distorted lip on the pulley down to get full engagement.
I did mine a few months ago.
