RE: power steering pump leak

["Dr. Paul M. Pitcher" <pigdoc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The tool I used was a Snap-On item, and I borrowed it from a garage owner 
I'm friends with.
I had tried a normal gear puller, but there isn't enough meat on the pulley 
to pull on with that tool.
Again, just sniff out what you need on eBay, and save the time and 
frustration of trying to fix that bad boy.
