Hey guys, so I'm running across an issue I stupidly put my power steering pulley on backwards late last night trying to finish up the motor and have been trying to remove it for a while today with a jaw puller but it won't budge. Now this is for a 95 5.0 and not a foxbody but this area gets searched more than the other. Is there anyway I could empty most of the fluid out of my rack and just by pass it with a new belt for the time being until I get a new or maybe would an explorer or v6 pulley fit? Any help would be appreciated because this car wi be driven to North Carolina this Saturday

You can bypass it short term. You need a special puller. If you used a jaw puller you've already ruined the pulley. Your local parts store rents the puller you need.

This shows you what the special tool looks like. Most Auto Pats Stores will rent or loan one if you have a credit card.

measure the distance between the pulley and the face of the pump or bracket so when you reinstall you have the same distance- otherwise your pulley will be misaligned and your belt will squeal/shred.

If the pulley is on backwards, i dont think the power steering pulley puller/installer tool will help.

I did the same dam thing. Lol I had to use a jaw puller and ruined the pulley. Then a got the under drive pulley off ebay. Your belt size will change, but the under drive pulley is much cheaper than a stock one.
