power steering pully

Austin86250 · Apr 4, 2022

doing some wrenching on my friends 88 f350 7.3
in efforts to replace power steering lines i managed to crack the power steering pump so we got a new one and tried getting the pully off the old one and somehow mangled it to the point we cant use it anymore
we have checked all the local parts stores to no luck
what is the pully size for the power steering pump?

Did you use a ps puller? Orielleys Auto Parts will rent you one if you have a store near you. Out of town so I don’t have a way to measure mine right now.

no, i incorrectly assumed that loosening the 3/8" hex in the middle would cause the pully to come off the same way the alternator pully does

LOTS of these trucks with various gas engines used the same power steering pump same pulley and sometimes the same aluminum mounting bracket as the IDI diesels so they are very easy to find at wrecking yards that have ford pickups
LEARN HOW TO USE THE PULLER/INSTALLER TOOL and bring it with you. Directions come with the rental tool.

HF sells a nice little puller kit. I've used mine several times, no complaints.

Both work the same. I like having it and not having to drive down and rent it when I need it. It`s 7 miles to O`Rielly`s so 14 miles times 2.
Then going to PNP I have it in the truck just in case I find a pulley to pull.

Pretty slick how it works.

Yep. I think that they're worth their weight in gold.
