Usually you have to take a pulley puller kit and just pull the pulley off the shaft. Installation is reverse, you use a threaded stud in the shaft to pull the pulley on with.

If I remember you need to remove them from laying on the ground and going in from under the car behind the bumper. Some models did have 2 screws on the front the older ones had to be removed from behind the bumper.

SOURCE: 79 vette i changed the power assisted steering hoses

Sounds like you blew out the rack.Double check that you installed the correct hoses and fluid on/in the vehicle. Bleed the unit by turning the steering wheel from stop to stop while the vehicle is running until there is no foaming or bubbles in the resovoir. If this
doesn't cure it then take it to a shop and have them pressure test the pump and rack . The tester can be pricey and the procedure is a little dangerous. If you have the tester by all means use the service manual and it will tell you the correct procedure for hooking up the tester and how to use it. But be careful and wear safety lenses and gloves.Power steering fluid is very hot and the pressures are high. If you determine that it is the rack replacing this is an adventure and your gonna need a wheel alignment after its done. I suggest you take it to a shop where the Tech's are ASE Certified. Good luck and keep me posted

Do i have to remove the power steering pump, to replace the pressure line. on a 2007 chevy impala, 3.5 liter

This is the procedure in the AUTO ZONE repair help...note that it has you remove the hoses AFTER removal of the pump. If they could be removed in place it would have had you do that prior to pump removal.

3.5L & 3.9L Engines

Please note that the power steering pump pulley must be removed to access the pump retaining bolts. Special tools are required to draw the pulley off the pump shaft and to later press the pulley onto the pump shaft. A shop press cannot be used to install the pulley or the pump will be damaged.
  1. Place a drain pan under the vehicle.
  2. Remove the coolant surge tank (coolant reservoir).
  3. Remove the cosmetic/acoustic engine cover.
  4. Remove the accessory drive belt.
  5. Remove the accessory wiring junction block and set aside.
  6. Remove the power steering pump pulley from the pump noting the following:
    1. Use a power steering pump pulley remover. These pullers typically have a ridge that surrounds the collar on the pulley center.
    2. Turn the puller screw making sure the center screw is centered in the end of the pump shaft.
    3. Draw the pulley from the pump shaft.
  7. Disconnect the pressure line and return hose from the power steering pump.
  8. Unfasten the pump retaining bolts and remove the pump from the engine.

Fig. Power steering pump mounting and the pulley removal and installation tool.

To install:
  1. Install the pump to the engine. Install the bolts and tighten to 25 ft. lbs. (34 Nm).
  2. Connect the power steering return line.
  3. Connect the power steering pressure line. Using a -crows foot- adapter and a torque wrench, torque the pressure line fitting to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm).
  4. Install the power steering pump pulley noting the following.
    1. Use a power steering pump pulley installer such as J 36015, or equivalent. This type of installer threads into the end of the pump shaft. A nut is then turned to press the pulley onto the pump shaft.
    2. The face of the pulley hub must be flush with the end of the pump shaft.

      WARNING
      Do not attempt to use a shop press to install a pump pulley.

How to change power stering pump on 1995 Chevrolet1500 2wd with 350ci with air conditioner

  1. Lift the hood. Remove the power-steering cap. Use the turkey baster to siphon as much fluid as possible from the power-steering pump reservoir. This is done to lessen the fluid loss when the hoses are removed.

  2. 2

    Remove the two pressure hoses from the rear of the power-steering pump, using a wrench and common screwdriver. The high-pressure hose is threaded into the back of the pump while the lower-pressure hose is held on with a clamp.

  3. 3

    Loosen the belt tensioner by using a wrench to move the tensioner away from the belt and removing the belt.

  4. 4

    Place the power-steering pulley extractor tool on the nose of the pulley. The tool has two half shells that clamp around the lip on the nose of the pulley and around the lip of the tool. Thread the tool in until the shells fit on both the pulley and the tool lip. Install the circular metal band to keep the shells in place. Hold the threaded head of the tool with a wrench. With another appropriately sized wrench, turn the large nut above the shells counterclockwise to pull the pulley off.

  5. 5

    Remove the bolts securing the pump to the support bracket. Remove the pump.

  6. 6

    Install the new pump. Insert the securing bolts and tighten. Install the pulley by holding the pulley on the shaft while threading the extractor tool into the center hole of the shaft, with the shells removed. Hold the head of the threaded shaft with one wrench and turn the large nut clockwise with another wrench to push the pulley on the power-steering pump shaft.

  7. 7

    Install the serpentine belt by pushing the tensioner away from the belt while wrapping the belt around the pulleys. Allow the tensioner to press on the belt, causing tension.

  8. 8

    Install the two power-steering hoses. Fill the power-steering pump reservoir with power-steering fluid. Start the truck and turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock, left and right several times to bleed all the air from the system. Check the fluid one more time.

How to remove pully from powersteering pump?

You need a power steering pulley puller. This is about the least expensive one that you will find:

Be careful not the bend the pulley as they are $100-200 for a replacement! Soak the center shaft with a quality penetrating oil like Kroil or PB Blaster for a day or two before.

Replacing water pump, how doers the fan come off the pump shaft. It looks like it's screwed on with a large hex nut but how can I loosen it without the shaft turning. Frustrated

The fan clutch is threaded onto the water pump. They make a tool to hold the pulley from turning so you can turn the large hex part of the clutch. You can probably rent one for free from a parts store like autozone or the like. Keep in mind some clutches are left hand threads also keeping the belt on the pulley also helps the pulley from spinning also.

How to change a cluth fan on a 1996 GM astro van

If it is the type I am thinking about... (a hexigon shaft coming from the waterpump pulley attatching it to the fan surrounded by 4 bolts that hold the pully to the waterpump) with this design you usuially need a clutch fan removal tool. basicly a very flat wrench and a y shaped "holding" tool (this tool basicly grips the waterpump pulley by 2 of its bolts or 2 holes in some models and you use it against the force of the wrench to crack the two loose) basicly the hex shaft is partially hollow and has a thread on the inside it attaches to a short threaded part that pertrudes from the pulley mount when it comes off expect to catch the fan and hex shaft. be careful not to attempt this without either isolating the pully from the serpintine belt or otherwise ensuring that you arent going to turn the engine over manually if you slip. also in some similar models the hex shaft may be a left handed thread. in many cases some auto supply stores may lend you specialty tools (or rent them) with a small deposit, a gm dealer can tell you if that particular model and year will thread left or right.... hope this helps
