Does your new pump come with one already pressed on?
power steering pump is good I’m removing it to get my front cover off to replace timing chains and phasers

any suggestions on this issue?
I have the same yr truck and I swear I get a racheting wrench in there because I broke 2 rental tools trying to get the pulley off so I took the thing off with the pulley attached. Funny thing is the auto parts store mechanic broke his pulley removal tool also trying to get it off. I ended up buying a new pump and they installed a new pulley for free because there was no way in the world I was ever going to get that old pulley both on or off in the future

Default When I did timing that pump mount made me so mad I almost forgot how to cuss .

I have a lot of tools ,went out and bought more little ones-- still was a bugger. If there was a modification to mount to make it easy I would do it even if it cost $200 bucks. I think I worked from underneath towards rear of engine and tore my hands up a little at a time .I tried to get pulley off and almost ruined it .
Good luck with it .

Thank you for the response
it is a terrible design I did order a pulley remover/installer kit
like you said it may come off or not
the pump will come off one way or another right
thanks man!
